Beautiful Stranger
Jon Auer Lyrics

Haven't we met?
Have we already crossed paths before?

Some kind of beautiful stranger
You are a stranger to me, but there is something about you that makes you exceptionally beautiful.

You could be good for me
There is a chance that you are good for me, but I am not sure yet.

I've had the taste for danger
I have a penchant for risk-taking and danger in my life.

If I'm smart then I'll run away
If I am wise, I would distance myself from you to avoid getting hurt.

But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
But unfortunately, I am not that wise, so I think I will stay and take my chances with you.

Heaven forbid
God help me

I'll take my chance on a beautiful stranger
I am willing to take my chances with you, despite not really knowing you.

I looked into your eyes
I gazed into your eyes and found myself captivated.

And my world came tumbling down
Seeing you triggered a feeling of instability, making my world seem to crumble.

You're the devil in disguise
You seem to be a very attractive package but are hiding something, in reality, that is menacing.

That's why I'm singing this song
That is the reason why I am composing and performing this song.

To know you
Understanding you

Is to love you
Is to feel affection and care for you

You're everywhere I go
I can't run away from you, as you are someone that is present around me.

And everybody knows
Your existence and my connection with you is common knowledge among the people around us.

To love you
To be emotionally invested in you.

Is to be part of you
Being with you defines me and is a part of who I am.

I paid for you with my tears
I went through a lot of pain and agony for you.

And swallowed all my pride
I let go of my sense of superiority just to be with you.

Haven't you heard?
Are you not aware?

I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
I have fallen in love with you despite barely knowing you.

My heart was dancing all over the place
I was extremely excited to see you, causing my heart to beat erratically with joy.

I'd like to change my point of view
I wish to see things differently from how I perceive them currently.

If I could just forget about you
If forgetting you were easy.

I paid for you with my tears
I faced a lot of pain and heartache as a result of my connection with you.

And swallowed all my pride
I had to let go of my dignity to make this relationship work.

Beautiful stranger
Attractive yet unknown to me.
