'Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore
Bon Jovi & LeAnn Rimes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But its harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
Its time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
Ill just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Don't you think its time we say
Some things we haven't said
It ain't too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why don't you look at me
Til we ain't strangers anymore
Sometimes its hard to love me
Sometimes its hard to love you too
I know its hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life
With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Til we ain't strangers anymore
Its hard to find forgiveness
When we just run out of lies
Its hard to say you're sorry
When you cant tell wrong from right
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So lets get down to it baby
There ain't no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Til we ain't strangers anymore
We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore

Talk about some things that have not been previously discussed

Where we believed we were previously
Why don't you look at me
Why don't you gaze upon me

Merely keeping track of faults and sins of others
So lets get down to it baby
So, let us address the issue at hand

There is no need to be dishonest
Tell me who you think you see
Communicate who you believe you are looking at
When you look into my eyes
When you gaze into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
Join our two hearts once again
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
We will abandon the shattered remains on the ground
Make love with me baby
Engage in sexual intercourse with me
Til we ain't strangers anymore
Until we are no longer unfamiliar to each other
We're not strangers anymore
We are no longer unfamiliar to each other
We're not strangers
We are not unfamiliar to each other
We're not strangers anymore
We are no longer unfamiliar to each other

It might be hard to be lovers
But it's harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
It's time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
I'll just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
'Til we ain't strangers anymore
Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Don't you think its time we say
Some things we haven't said
It ain't too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why don't you look at me
'Til we ain't strangers anymore
Sometimes it's hard to love me
Sometimes it's hard to love you too
I know it's hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life
With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
'Til we ain't strangers anymore
It's hard to find forgiveness
When we just turn off the lights
It's hard to say you're sorry
When you cant tell wrong from right
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So lets get down to it baby
There ain't no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
'Til we ain't strangers anymore
We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore

This is the very first time I've heard this beautiful song. I love LeAnn Rimes and her gorgeous voice and I think that Jon Bon Jovi is just the best. These two singing a duet is just the best thing ever.
