A Stranger With You

(With Suzi Quatro)

All those lonely nights without you
Countless calls from Baltimore
Tomorrow always seems so far away
And you didn't have to tell me things
Never said before
When you couldn't think of anything to say

But you may call it love and understanding
Oh, but I don't call it anything at all
Am I really on your mind
Or am I just taking up your time?
Well, I don't know anymore

And for all the hesitation
You've been feeling inside
Well, I've been feeling it too
Though you may be a stranger
To paradise
Why should I be a stranger with you?

I miss the waking every morning
You never know how bad
But I don't miss the way
You said goodbye
And I can't go on forever
Losing everything I had
While you keep on telling me
How hard you tried

You may call it love and understanding
Oh, but I don't call it anything at all
Is it something you can't say
Or is it time for us to walk away?
I just don't know anymore

And for all the hesitation
You've been feeling inside
Well, I've been feeling it too
Though you may be a stranger
To paradise
Why should I be a stranger with you?

Oh, for all the hesitation
You've been feeling inside
Well, I've been feeling it too
Though you may be a stranger
To paradise
Why should I be a stranger with you?
