Stranger Songtext

von Usher

Drummer Boy

Said you'll neva give away your heart again
I'll be knockin' till you let me in
I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely
You don't even know me
That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger

Sorry you put your trust in others
And they let you down
And all the the secrets and the unknown evidence
Now in the open that you found

Cried yourself to sleep so many nights
Said you'd never again
I'm not the one you hold it against
Baby, it's not my plan

[Bridge]
Yeah, you independent as hell
And doin' it by yourself
But what you gon' do
When the nighttime gets cold?

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely
You don't even know me
I ain't moving out the way for nothing, I'm stubborn

[Chorus]
'Cause you said you'd never give away your heart again
I'll be knockin' till you let me in
I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely
Tired of being your closest friend
You don't even know me
That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger

Tell me, what I gotta do, what I gotta do
What I gotta do, what I gotta do
What I gotta do, what I gotta do, yeah

[Verse 2]
You're stuck inside no matter how hard you try to forget
Don't you wish there was a button we could reset
And make it easy?

But you can't take back the decision that you made to love
No, oh, no
I know it's the one that you regretting, not so proud of
Because you keep tellin' me

[Bridge]
Yeah, you independent as hell
And doin' it by yourself
But what you gon' do
When the nighttime gets cold?

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely
You don't even know me
I ain't moving out the way for nothing, I'm stubborn

[Chorus]
'Cause you said you'd never give away your heart again
I'll be knockin' till you let me in
I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely
Tired of being your closest friend
You don't even know me
That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger

Baby, tell me
What I gotta do, what I gotta do
What I gotta do
Baby, tell me
What I gotta do, what I gotta do
What I gotta do

[Verse 3]
I remember the break-up
And the condition that my heart was in
But I would never surrender, no, no
I gotta be stronger, there's nothing time can't heal

Girl, I know you're scarred
All I ask is a chance to come in and do my part
It's nothing but fear and you've been holding on since
Too under pressure and I see us sinking in

[Chorus]
Said you'll neva give away your heart again
I'll be knockin' till you let me in
I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely
You don't even know me
That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger

What I gotta do, what I gotta do
What I gotta do, oh
What I gotta do, what I gotta do
What I gotta do
