[Verse 1]
I've been doing some soul searching
Feel guilty as a girl can feel
I've got no business smiling, beguiling
I'm caught up in a triangle
No future in this shape I'm in
So what do I find so appealing in stealing?
[Chorus]
Tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much?
My heart's in jeopardy
He's overpowering me
Oh, what'll I do?
[Verse 2]
I wasn't lookin' around
You know I'm happy with you
You're a part of me that I can't replace
But he touched my heart in a new place
He found a space
[Chorus]
Tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much?
My heart's in jeopardy
He's overpowering me
Oh what'll I do
Can't keep on hurtin', hurtin' you (Can't keep on hurtin')
Can't keep on hurtin', hurtin' you
[Chorus]
Tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much?
My heart's in jeopardy
He's overpowering me
Oh, what'll I do?
He's overpowering me
Oh, what'll I do?
[Outro]
Can't keep on, can't keep on, can't keep hurting you
Can't keep on, can't keep on, can't keep hurting you
I've been doing some soul searching
Feel guilty as a girl can feel
I've got no business smiling, beguiling
I'm caught up in a triangle
No future in this shape I'm in
So what do I find so appealing in stealing?
[Chorus]
Tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much?
My heart's in jeopardy
He's overpowering me
Oh, what'll I do?
[Verse 2]
I wasn't lookin' around
You know I'm happy with you
You're a part of me that I can't replace
But he touched my heart in a new place
He found a space
[Chorus]
Tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much?
My heart's in jeopardy
He's overpowering me
Oh what'll I do
Can't keep on hurtin', hurtin' you (Can't keep on hurtin')
Can't keep on hurtin', hurtin' you
[Chorus]
Tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much?
My heart's in jeopardy
He's overpowering me
Oh, what'll I do?
He's overpowering me
Oh, what'll I do?
[Outro]
Can't keep on, can't keep on, can't keep hurting you
Can't keep on, can't keep on, can't keep hurting you
