  • Your eyes, so crisp, so green
    Sour apple baby, but you taste so sweet
    You got hips like Jagger and two left feet
    And I wonder if you'd like to meet

    Your voice is velvet through a telephone
    You can come to mine, but both my roommates are home
    Think I know a bar where they would leave us alone
    And I wonder if you'd take it slow

    Oh, we're dancing in my living room
    And up come my fists
    And I say, "I'm only playing," but
    The truth is this
    That I've never seen a mouth that I would kill to kiss
    And I'm terrified, but I can't resist

    And I said
    Beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms and I know
    That beautiful strangers only come along to do me wrong
    And I hope, beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms
    But I think it's finally, finally, finally, finally, finally safe
    For me to fall
    Oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh

    I grab your hand and then we run to the car
    Singing in the street and playing air guitar
    Stuck between my teeth just like a candy bar
    And I wonder if it goes too far to say
    I've never recognized a purer face
    You stopped me in my tracks and put me right in my place
    Used to think that loving meant a painful chase
    But you're right here now and I think you'll stay

    Oh, we're dancing in my living room
    And up come my fists
    And I say, "I'm only playing," but
    The truth is this
    I've never seen a mouth that I would kill to kiss
    And I'm terrified, but the truth is this

    I said
    Beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms and I know
    That beautiful strangers only come along to do me wrong and I hope
    Beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms
    And I think it's finally, finally, finally, finally, finally safe
    For me to fall
    Oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh
    Yeah, I think it's finally, finally, finally, finally
