Sex With Strangers
Marianne Faithfull · Kissin Time
Someone saw you by the waterside
Nothing you can do will change her
This is not the time for secrets
Save your breath
It's time for sex with strangers
It's time for sex with strangers
It's time for sex with strangers
Maybe, sex with someone else
Completely empty
You have nothing left inside
Bored, you thought you'd try a little danger
And now you have betrayed yourself
It's time for sex with strangers
It's time for sex with strangers
It's time for sex with strangers
Time for sex with someone else
She wants to run away and hide
Nothing you can do will save her
She thought she knew you
Knew how much you felt
But now it's sex with strangers
Now it's sex with strangers
But now it's sex with strangers
Time for sex with someone else
But now it's sex with strangers
Now it's sex with strangers
But now it's sex with strangers
Now it's time for sex with someone else
Nothing you can do will change her
This is not the time for secrets
Save your breath
It's time for sex with strangers
It's time for sex with strangers
It's time for sex with strangers
Maybe, sex with someone else
Completely empty
You have nothing left inside
Bored, you thought you'd try a little danger
And now you have betrayed yourself
It's time for sex with strangers
It's time for sex with strangers
It's time for sex with strangers
Time for sex with someone else
She wants to run away and hide
Nothing you can do will save her
She thought she knew you
Knew how much you felt
But now it's sex with strangers
Now it's sex with strangers
But now it's sex with strangers
Time for sex with someone else
But now it's sex with strangers
Now it's sex with strangers
But now it's sex with strangers
Now it's time for sex with someone else
