Stranger
LTD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the beginning of a fantasy
Was it right to love a stranger?
There was nobody to care after me
Nobody, no, no, no, no
Nobody, no, no, no, no
Nobody, no, no, no, no
Another night I loved a stranger
Like in the middle of a fantasy
Was it right to love a stranger?
I had nobody to care after me
Nobody, no, no, no, no
Nobody, no, no, no, no
Nobody, no, no, no, no
Had nobody to care after me
Last night I loved a stranger
Hope it's the ending of my fantasy
Is it right to love a stranger?
When there's nobody to care after me
Nobody, no, no, no, no
Nobody
There's nobody to care after me
Tonight, there'll be no stranger
There will not be another fantasy
My baby called, she's on her way here
The only one who ever cared about me
Somebody, la, la, la, la
Somebody, somebody
The one somebody
The only one who ever cared about me
Oh, love is back, said it's no stranger
It's so much better than a fantasy
Since you left, I've been in danger
But now you're back just to take care of me
Said, love, love is back, and it's no stranger
Oh, it's so much better than a fantasy
Since you left, I've been in danger
But now you're back just to take care of me
The lyrics of LTD featuring Jeffrey Osborne's "Stranger" tell a story of a person who has loved a stranger on different nights, not sure if it was right to do so, as nobody cared after them. The person is seeking love and attention but has been unsuccessful until their loved one, the only person who ever cared about them, comes to take care of them, and love is no longer a stranger.
The use of the word 'stranger' in the lyrics suggests several interpretations. It could represent a person they do not know or love, or it could signify the uncertainty of love. The phrases "Was it right to love a stranger?" and "The only one who ever cared about me" suggest that the singer has been looking for someone who will provide them with care and love but was unable to find it until their 'baby' came. This interpretation could imply that the singer has been in a state of loneliness or in search of true love.
The chorus, "nobody to care after me," is a poignant reminder of a lack of support and care. It is an essential message that touches the heartstrings of anyone who has ever felt alone and helpless. Finally, when the singer discovers true love and care, it brings an end to their quest and restores their faith in love.
Line by Line Meaning
One night I loved a stranger
I fell in love with a stranger one night
Like the beginning of a fantasy
It was like the start of a dream
Was it right to love a stranger?
I questioned whether it was appropriate to love someone I didn't know
There was nobody to care after me
There was no one to look after me
Nobody, no, no, no, no
I had no one to rely on
Another night I loved a stranger
I fell in love with another stranger on another night
Like in the middle of a fantasy
It was like a continuation of a dream
Had nobody to care after me
Again, there was no one to take care of me
Last night I loved a stranger
I fell in love with someone else another night
Hope it's the ending of my fantasy
I hoped it was the last time I'd dream of falling for a stranger
When there's nobody to care after me
Again, there was no one to care about me
Tonight, there'll be no stranger
Tonight I won't be falling for a stranger
There will not be another fantasy
There won't be another dream-like experience of falling in love with a stranger
My baby called, she's on her way here
My loved one is coming to be with me
The only one who ever cared about me
The only person who has ever shown me love and concern
Oh, love is back, said it's no stranger
Love has returned and it's not an unfamiliar feeling
It's so much better than a fantasy
It's even better than my dream-like experiences
Since you left, I've been in danger
I've been in trouble since you've been away
But now you're back just to take care of me
You're back to look after me
