And it wrenches you up and you’re left like a zombie

Eurythmics – Love Is a Stranger

Love is a stranger
in an open car,
to tempt you in
and drive you far away.

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
it’s an obsession

Love is a danger,
of a different kind
To take you away,
and leave you far behind.
And love love love,
is a dangerous drug.
You have to receive it,
and you still can’t
get enough of the stuff

It’s savage and it’s cruel
and it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood
and it seems like religion
It’s noble and it’s brutal
it distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
and you’re left like a zombie

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
it’s an obsession

It’s guilt edged
glamorous and sleek by design.
You know it’s jealous by nature
false and unkind
It’s hard and restrained
and it’s totally cool
It touches and it teases
as you stumble in the debris

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
it’s an obsession
