Perfect Stranger lyrics

Hell, I gave up my time

For a no-good affair

You'd think I'd learned by now

To be taken in

By a perfect stranger

That I had the know-how

Still, more fool me

For kidding myself

That's the way it should be

Maybe I should grow up

Would I feel confined to the same space?

Or would I feel 

That I talked myself into a corner?

So long, you're no friend of mine

You're false and unkind

You're indestructible

No place I'd rather be

Than in the ring with you

We'd go twenty rounds

Still, more fool me

For killing myself

That's the way it should be

Maybe I should grow up

Would I feel confined to the same space?

Or would I feel 

That I talked myself into a corner?

I see the sky move above me

But I just can't take control

What a sweet sensation, oh

Love, sweet, sweet love

Hell, I gave up my time

For a no-good affair

You'd think I'd learned by now

To be taken in

By a perfect stranger

That I had the know-how

Still, more fool me

For kidding myself

That's the way it should be

Maybe I should grow up

Would I feel confined to the same space?

Or would I feel 

(Say goodbye, stranger)

That I talked myself into a corner?

Oh, I feel so bad
