Taken by a Stranger Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's got a knuckle in her eye
He knows her cat call
Can't escape from telling lies
I heard her sayin':
"Hey, mind if I take this chair?"
"Hey, mind if I take this chair?"
He drops a pause
She looks annoyed
But she's so mean
He thinks she has to be the one

[Chorus]
Taken by a stranger
Stranger things are starting to begin
Lured into the danger
Trip me up and spin me 'round again

[Verse 2]
You've got some coffee on your collar
And you forgot to comb your hair
But I can wait 'til I do better
You're here and I don't care
Can't help it if you like it
'Cause I won't be here tomorrow
No one ever told you that you wouldn't be rejected
[Chorus]
Taken by a stranger
Stranger things are starting to begin
Lured into the danger (It's a risky business)
Trip me up and spin me round again

[Bridge]
Da da da da, da da da
Da da da da, da da da
Uhhhh
Na na na na na

[Verse 3]
Put the blindfold on his eyes
She saw him, peek through
Can't imagine her disguise
I heard her sayin':
"Hey, mind if I take this chair?"
"Yeah, see if I care"

[Chorus]
Taken by a stranger
Stranger things are starting to begin
Lured into the danger (It's a risky business)
Trip me up and spin me round again
