Taken by a Stranger
The BossHoss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's got knuckle in her eye
He knows her
Cat call
Can't escape from telling lies
I heard her sayin'
Hey, mind if I take this chair?
He drops a pause
She looks annoyed
But she's so mean
He thinks she has to be the one
Taken by a stranger
Stranger things are starting to begin
Lured into the danger
Trip me up and spin me round again
Spin me round again
You got some coffee on your collar
And you forgot to comb your hair
I can't wait 'til I do better
You're here and I don't care
Can't help it if you like it, 'cause I won't be here tomorrow
No one ever told you that you wouldn't be rejected, no
Taken by a stranger
Stranger things are starting to begin
Lured into the danger (is a risky business!)
Trip me up and spin me round again
Cha cha, tada tada, cha cha, ooh la la la
Cha cha, tada tada, cha cha, ooh la la la
Put the blindfold on his eyes
She saw him peek through
Can't escape from tellin' lies
I heard her sayin'
Hey, mind if I take this chair?
Yeah, see if I care
Taken by a stranger
Stranger things are starting to begin
Lured into the danger (is a risky business)
Trip me up and spin me round again
Come on, spin me round again
Cha cha, tada tada, cha cha, ooh la la la
Cha cha, tada tada, cha cha, ooh la la la
Cha cha, tada tada, cha cha, ooh la la la
Cha cha, tada tada, cha cha, ooh la la la
The lyrics to The BossHoss's "Taken by a Stranger" tell the story of a man who is attracted to a woman who he knows is dangerous and prone to lying. Despite her flaws, he can't help but be drawn to her and he becomes "lured into the danger." He describes her as mean and knows she is a stranger, but he still can't resist her charm. The chorus repeats "Taken by a stranger, stranger things are starting to begin, lured into the danger, trip me up and spin me round again," which suggests that he knows he's getting into trouble but he can't help himself.
The song has elements of danger and risk involved, symbolized by the lyrics that describe putting a blindfold on the man's eyes and the repeated warning that it's a "risky business." The woman in the song seems to have some control over the man, as she is the one who asks if she can take the chair and the one who seems to be in charge when she tells him to put the blindfold on. Overall, the lyrics suggest that the man is in a dangerous situation with this woman, but he can't resist her and is willingly being "taken by a stranger."
