Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
So that's how you fell A stranger ha
Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
I buy you this, I take you there, now you wanna act like it ain't fair,
Find a new love guess it ain't rare, You can be replaced 'case you ain't clear
Yup, OK player, look to my side and you ain't there
Too little time and you ain't share, end of the road and you ain't there
You hit my cell on Friday, come pick you up outta your place
You tell me I look beautiful, baby that's so unusual
But then we get to the party, you act like you don't even know me
You laughin' it up, you takin' shots, so drunk you forgot about the girl you brought
You're a fool, you're a damn fool and it's all you'll ever be
So get a clue, get a damn clue
You'll never find another me
Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
I can't believe how you do me, actin' like you never knew me
I let your love run through me, I feel just like a groupie, Charlie's hooptie
Perfect strangers, serving goodbyes like a waiter
I'll pack my bags alligator, I hit the road like a stone and roll see ya later
You're a fool, you're a damn fool, all that's all you'll ever be
You're a fool, you're a damn fool and it's all you'll ever be
So get a clue, get a damn clue
You'll never find another me
Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
Thought that life you was made for, they say you get what you pay for
Want no stress so I paid more, now you wanna talk while I game on
I play on, baller-like, goya bags lu vuitton and spikes
Take no bags when I board the flight, where I land I'ma score tonight
Let pour tonight ciroc and lime, now we both stuck like a porcupine
Let's get lost so we hard to find, push it to the limit like borderline
Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
