Lyrics[]
Cold is the night Lonely till dawn Cry for the light For the love that won't come You said that you'd never Leave me alone I gave you my heart You cried for my soul An Angel won't come This Devil won't go Something is wrong I just can't get away Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love But I'm a stranger in your arms Yes, I'm a stranger in your arms Maybe it's right But I just can't understand The hurt that I feel For my love second hand I know I should leave But I just can't walk away Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love I'm a stranger in your arms Yes, I'm a stranger in your arms Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love I'm a stranger in your arms Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love...
