She's got a knuckle in her eye He knows her, catcall Can't escape from telling lies I heard her saying "Heeeey, mind if I take this chair?" "Heeeey, 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 You got some coffee on your collar And you forgot to comb your hair But I can't wait till 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 Taken by a stranger Stranger things are starting to begin Lured into the danger (danger is a risky business) Trip me up and spin me round again De-de, de-de-de-de-de Uh-uh-uh-uh N-na-na-na-na-na Put the blindfold on his eyes She saw him peek through Can't imagine her disguise I heard her saying "Heeeey, 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 (danger is a risky business) Trip me up and spin me round again
