First we were strangers down on our luck And both in need of a friend We promised each other To much to live up to And now we're strangers again
(Leona) I came like a stranger And you took me in And I felt at home in your arms We had nothing but good times As long as the sun shines But we just couldn't weather the storms
(Merle) You came like a stranger And I took you in And you gave me some reasons To live I gave the good times And you gave the sunshine Till we ran out of good things to give
Now we are strangers back down on our luck And both in need of a friend We promised each other To much to live up to And now we're strangers again
