[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Dark as the night were his eyes
And with just one look I realised
He was a new boy (New boy)
He was a stranger (Stranger)
He was young like a kid, havin' fun
But the fire in his eyes said he wasn't afraid of anyone (Anyone)
Though he was a stranger (Stranger)
[Chorus]
He was tall and wild
Handsome as he could be, yes he was
And with just one smile, he stole my heart
Became a part of me
And in spite of the danger, I fell in love with a stranger
[Verse 2]
Burning fire was his kiss
Like a helpless child, now, my heart ran wild
And I could not resist him (I couldn't resist)
I've loved a stranger, ooh (Stranger)
Like the night fades away into dawn
When I opened my eyes, he had vanished and gone
Like a ghost in the night (Ghost in the night)
He was still a stranger (Stranger)
[Chorus]
He was tall and wild
Handsome as he could be, yes he was
And with just one smile, he stole my heart
Became a part of me (Ooh)
And in spite of the danger, I fell in love with a stranger
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Girls, I said he was tall and wild
Just as handsome as he could be
Don't you know with just one smile, oh, he stole my heart
Became a part of me (Ooh)
And in spite of the danger, I fell in love with a stranger
In spite of the danger, I fell in love with a stranger
Ooh, I couldn't resist
