{Verse 1}
No, I never thought anyone could pull the wool over my eyes, yeah
But you're not just anyone, you're a master of disguise, oh yeah
I swear you put on one hell of a performance
'Cause you were just using me to get what you wanted
And I ain't see it coming, no, I couldn't see it coming

{Pre-Chorus}
'Cause you had me fooled thinking that you were the one for me
Thinking that you were the one I need, when I'm alone

{Chorus}
I was just, I was just
Loving a stranger, loving a stranger
Loving, loving a stranger
Loving a stranger
Loving a stranger

{Verse 2}
Oh, how you feel my heart, if this is how you do me?
I told you that I loved you, oh
And that's not something I say loosely
That's not something I say loosely
Oh no

{Pre-Chorus}
But you had me fooled thinking that you were the one for me
Thinking that you were the one I need, when I'm alone

{Chorus}
I was just, I was just
Loving a stranger, loving a stranger
Loving, loving a stranger
Loving a stranger
Loving a stranger

{Bridge}
Maybe it's karma, maybe it's bad luck, maybe it's all coincidence
Maybe I gave you confidence, maybe
I'll forgive you, already miss you
But right now, I ain't got time for that
No Super Bowl, I ain't running back, no
You crossed that line when you walked outside when I said goodbye
Victim of your crimes, taking back what's mine, when I cry inside
Wish I could rewind, but I know that I can't take back time
I can't take back time, can't take back time, so

{Chorus}
I'm hoping that you learn how it feels to be loving a stranger
Loving a stranger
Loving, loving a stranger
Loving a stranger
Loving a stranger
