Rufus - Stranger To Love Lyrics






Take me, oh I need it now
Shake me to love somehow
I need warm embraces, yes I do
I need smiling faces to look into
I know that time erases the wounds of man

Love is not all I crave
I know there's a world to save
But I've always done my best
And I think I've passed every test

But there's something about a brand new heart

Send me a stranger to love
I need a stranger to love
Send me a stranger to love
So I can leave my past behind
My past behind, my past behind (mmm, my past)
My past behind, my past behind

I know that love may not come
But if I can dream like everyone

I'd dream the warming feelin' of an early spring
I'd dream the magic elation a touch can bring
I wanna capture the feelin of a newborn heart

Send me a stranger to love
Send me a stranger to love
I need a stranger to love
So I can leave my past behind......
My past behind, my past behind ,yeah yeah, yeah
My past behind, my past behind

Send me a stranger to love
I wanna stranger to love, oh yeah
Send me a stranger to love
So I can leave my past, wanna throw it out the door......
My past behind
Ooh, ooh, baby, baby, my baby, yeah
My past behind
My past behind, my past behind

I've been lookin' for a brand new mind
There's somethin bout a brand new start
