Stranger
Travis Garland · Other Songs - Travis Garland
Hey girl I might be wrong
But you don't want a man just to take you home
That's cool we ain't gotta rush
So let me tell you all about the shit I'm on
Ha Ha baby I'm playin'
Really you should dig all the things I'm sayin' to you, to you
So just hold on before you walk away
I know you wanna trust in me
Girl I can see us together
And if you just give me a chance
To get to know you before you leave tonight
Maybe, You'll be, you'll be
[Chorus:]
My Stranger I'd be crazy if I just let you go
Without telling' you that you had me before hello
Don't walk a way, Girl, you need to
Tell me your name
Stranger, I don't want you to be a Stranger
Hey girl, I might be wrong
I feel something buzzin' and it ain't my phone
I don't bite, baby I'm harmless
But I think I mighta just met Mrs.Garland
Ha Ha girl I'm just sayin'
The way you lick your lips
Make me wanna quit the game
And stay with you, with you
So just hold on before you walk away
I know you wanna trust in me
Girl I can see us together
And if you just give me a chance
To get to know you before you leave tonight
Maybe, You'll be, you'll be
[Chorus:]
My Stranger I'd be crazy if I just let you go
Without telling' you that you had me before hello
Don't walk a way, Girl, you need to
Tell me your name
Stranger, I don't want you to be a Stranger
Girl I know we just met tonight
But I'm feelin' something' between you and me
So why does I feel like, like I've known you forever girl?
When I don't know you, I don't know you yet?
You're my Stranger
But that's gonna change girl
You're my Stranger
But Girl after tonight
You're not a Stranger
Cause things have changed
But you're not a Stranger after tonite
[Chorus:]
My Stranger I'd be crazy if I just let you go
Without telling' you that you had me before hello
Don't walk a way, Girl, you need to
Tell me your name
Stranger, I don't want you to be a Stranger
I don't want you to be, no more, oh oh whoa
