I remember thinking, “I wonder what she’s having
Is she a Corona Light, or a glass of wine, or a Manhattan?”
I remember asking, “Do you like my dance moves?”
That made you laugh, that smile you had gave me a chance to
Pull you in closer than you were before
Even though we knew that we were nothing more
Than strangers
Two faces in the bar
Pickup lines, twist of lime, chasing first-time feelings in the dark
It’s crazy
Shouldn’t feel this right
This far, this fast, can’t believe last night we were strangers
Didn’t even know your name, we were strangers
Now I’ll never be the same
Kicked in the front door, took it even farther
Dress off of you, found your tattoo, fell even harder
The way you laid it on me, baby, skin on skin
That’s one thing that we’re never gonna be again
Is strangers
Two faces in the bar
Pickup lines, twist of lime, chasing first-time feelings in the dark
It’s crazy
Shouldn’t feel this right
This far, this fast, can’t believe last night we were strangers
Didn’t even know your name, we were strangers
Now I’ll never be the same
Looking at you now, I know I can’t live without you
Funny how last night I didn’t know a damn thing about you
We were strangers
Two faces in the bar
Pickup lines, twist of lime, chasing first-time feelings in the dark
It’s crazy
Shouldn’t feel this right
This far, this fast, can’t believe last night we were strangers
Didn’t even know your name, we were strangers
Now I’ll never be the same
Thank God I asked you your name
That you let me get you that drink
That you got me falling in love and didn’t wind up as strangers
Yeah, strangers
