I knew there was a danger But couldn't resist The touch of a stranger The thrill of his kiss 'cause this time I thought it was love I thought it was heaven Having the time of my life I know it's not true Oh never trust a stranger with your heart Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart My world is in pieces You've stolen my pride And I'm left defeated And crushed by your lies Like a tiger you hunted and tracked me down Savaged my soul and took over control And then when you'd used all the love you found You left without trace Not a note or a single goodbye I thought it was love I thought it was heaven Having the time of my life I know it's not true Oh never trust a stranger with your heart Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart
