Dancing with a Stranger By Kwesi Miles


Dancing with a Stranger

Another night, Another bottle in the can

Nights like this are getting old

Right now I'd run away with you but

you took your location off of the map

So I don't know how I'd find you


And now I'm sittin here, sippin and thinking

tipsy and remembering

all the times we've said goodbye to each other


It was always too soon when we said 'Hello' again

If only tonight could end like that

If only tonight I could find you and have you

rescue me from grabbing this next bottle


I'm ashamed to admit how I need you tonight because

This isn't the kind of night to be alone


But I know exactly what I need to do


A drunk phone call brings me the company I need

Passionate but fraudulent love is what I receive

With every skin to skin contact,

my heart lets go of what you ever did feel like


The radio is peeling the walls in my living room

and we laugh while we tango on the ceiling

We don't give a fuck if the neighbors are sleep

But Now look what you made me do,

I'm dancing with somebody new

somebody that isn't home

somebody that isn't you


Maybe if we were honest we could have all that we ask for

But that would be strange considering neither of us ever knew what we wanted

That answer still remains unclear to me


All that I know is that it's late and I got work in the morning

but because it's one of those nights

and I don't want to think and drive

I'll just drink and jive

till the sun comes up and regret it in the afternoon


But I hope you're proud of yourself

because now look what you made me do

It's a little past 2 and I'm dancing with a stranger
