lyrics

A stranger can't take your heart cause he won't know where to start
When you've fallen down and the world has picked you apart
That stranger can't lift you up, even if you want him to
Cause you don't know him but mostly he doesn't know you

When you're alone and you're feelin blue and you need someone to hold
You've got to take someone, but not just anyone
Because a stranger doesn't know you

The stranger might know your name in the corner of his brain
Like a TV replay or an old refrain
But that stranger can't take your heart, even if you want him to
Cause he hasn't learned what to do when you're feelin blue

When you're jumping from here to there and you need someone to hold
You've got to take someone, but not just anyone
Cause a stranger doesn't know you

The stranger doesn't know you yet, but who knows what's ahead
Maybe flowers and gifts so stick around and see what you'll get
The stranger may take your heart when he's learned a little thing or two
And says I gotta have someone, not just anyone, yes, I gotta have you

When you're alone and you're feeling blue and you need someone to hold
You gotta take someone, not just anyone
Cause a stranger doesn't know you

Why are we so alone when there's so many around to hold?
Maybe it's cause we're strangers to most everyone one we know.
