Lyrics
PARTIAL LYRIC
The last time I saw ypu, you was putting on airs,
with a clean T shirt and laces in your sneakers
I don't know where you're going and I don't much care
but there ain't no time for playing hiders and seekers
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger come around sometime
Dont be a stranger
Dont be a stranger, I will lose my mind
