I shouldn't be alone with you tonight, Desire was too strong to put up a fight, I don't understand the way I feel although it feels so right I really shouldn't be here tonight In your eyes there's a sign of intensity I sense an atmosphere No need to hide from the way that you feel inside There's nothin' left to fear If only for tonight (Don't be a stranger) I want to take this chance, risk it all for you Knowing what I'm gonna do If only for tonight (Don't be a stranger) I want it all from you tonight Your on my mind all of the time I really shouldn't stay with you tonight But the more and more I think of it The more it just seems right I really shouldn't be here tonite Now I find I don't know who I really am I'm lost without a trace So take me high take me low Anyhow you know And help me if you can If only for tonight (Don't be a stranger) I want to take this chance, risk it all for you Knowing what I'm gonna do If only for tonight (Don't be a stranger) I want it all from you tonight Why I don't know I'm into deep to say no Hold me close don't let me go I want to take this chance Risk it all for you Its what I'm gonna do If only for tonight (Don't be a stranger) I want to take this chance, risk it all for you Knowing what I'm gonna do If only for tonight (Don't be a stranger) I want it all from you tonight If only for tonight (Don't be a stranger) I want to take this chance, risk it all for you Knowing what I'm gonna do If only for tonight (Don't be a stranger) I want it all from you tonight
