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
