The Marvelettes — The Stranger

[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
