Who knows where the cold wind blows
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I looked around an' what did I see
Broken hearted people staring at me
All searching 'cos they still believe
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of
I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
I'd feel the emptiness of love I know so well

Love ain't no stranger
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger
I ain't no stranger to love, no, no, no

Can't hold the passion of a soul in need
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
I know good loving an' I'm a friend of pain
But, when I read between the lines it's all the same

Love ain't no stranger
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger
I ain't no stranger to love

So who knows where the cold wind blows
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love
Lord, have mercy
Love ain't no stranger
I ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed

Love ain't no stranger
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger
I ain't no stranger to love

Love ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger
I ain't no stranger...

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
