Don't tell me your name, just use that pretty mouth Kiss me if you want this, but I want you inside out Start here at the end and later, when we're waking Our bodies still weak, we finally meet, turn my head and say We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes? Don't let this bad world change you You got places to go, so much further than I can see We could be perfect strangers Thank you for spending one night with me Let's just keep this simple It's say, then it's goodbye The syrup's so much sweeter when you let the butter fly So spread your wings and go, it's better not to know What I'm gonna miss, I'll remember your kiss when I turn my head and say We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes? Don't let this bad world change you You got places to go, so much further than I can see We could be perfect strangers Thank you for spending one night with me We are passing trains, we are whiplash lovers We are burning wires melting all over each other We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes? Don't let this bad world change you You got places to go, so much further than I can see Everyone wants you but nobody knows that you're so alone inside We could be perfect strangers Thank you for spending one night
