Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances
We'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night up to the moment
When we said our first "Hello!".
Have you ever felt a gentle touch
and then a kiss
And then and then,
Find it's only your imagination again?
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't.
Have flashy flunkies everywhere? I don't.
Who wants the bother of a country estate?
A country estate is something I'd hate.
Who wants to wallow in champagne? I don't.
Who wants a supersonic plane? I don't.
Who wants a private landing feel through? I don't.
And I don't 'cause all I want is you.
I'd sacrifice anything, come what might, for the sake of having you near.
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night and repeats, repeats in my ear:
"Don't you know, little fool, you never can win.
Use your mentality, wake up to reality".
But each time that I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin,
cause I've got you under my skin.
