Lyrics Marianne Faithfull – A Perfect Stranger

Someone who isn’t like you and to waste it all
Someone to be around
Someone to have me hold when the deal goes down
Didn’t I say it would happen this way in the end?

A perfect stranger is what it seems
A perfect stranger, a crazy dream
A crazy dream

Find myself a perfect stranger to do for now
Someone who isn’t like you but knows why and how
Someone to walk away
Someone who knows the time to leave or to stay
Isn’t it sad, baby, we never have it that way?
Isn’t it sad, baby, we never have it that way?

A perfect stranger is what he seems
A perfect stranger, a crazy dream
A crazy dream

Find myself a perfect stranger to take me there
Someone who isn’t like you but know why and where
Someone who’s not afraid
Someone who’s blind to all the promises made

How does it feel, baby, we shouldn’t leave it this way
How does it feel, baby, we shouldn’t leave it this way
How does it feel, baby, we shouldn’t leave it this way perfect stranger
