I've seen you here before
But you never noticed me
And I've seen you crying alone
And it makes me sad to see
If you feel the way I do
Then tears won't comfort you
Would a stranger do
Would a stranger do for you
You want the world to let you be
But you have to realise
Don't be afraid of company
'Cause it's just a compromise
I know it's a risk we're taking
But think of the time we've been wasting
Excuse me for asking, lady
I really don't mean to intrude
Forgive me for asking
Would a stranger do
Would a stranger do for you
Would a stranger do
Your heart says go
Find someone new
But it whispers don't get hurt
And I'd like to find somebody too
Can I take a chance on you
I know it's a risk we're taking
But think of the time we've been wasting
Excuse me for asking, lady
I really don't mean to intrude
Forgive me for asking
Would a stranger do
Would a stranger do for you
Would a stranger do
Would a stranger do for you
