Hey Stranger Lyrics – Mahalia

{Intro}

Ooh, oh, oh-oh
Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh

{Verse 1}

I don't like when you say "Hey stranger"
'Cause every woman knows what that means
You just came out of another bad break up
And now, you want me to be your in-between
Well, tell me, in-between what?
What were you thinking when you woke me up?
You must've been drinking liquor
To send the text in the night
Oh, that's a trigger, and you know why

{Chorus}

So young man in the Nikes (Young man)
Don't tell me that you like me again
I don't want you to lie to me (I don't want it, babe)
Pretend to start something you know is gonna end
Young man in the white tee (White tee, white tee)
I don't wanna be here again (No)
You can't have my love for free (You can't have)
Then decide in the morning we're just friends again

{Post-Chorus}

Oh, oh, no no, no no

{Verse 2}

Tell me why it's always six months or somethin'
Just like clockwork, tick-tock, you come runnin'
And now, you're missin' me, missin' me, baby
And you wish you were kissin' me
But it's not how this is gonna go this time
I let you in my home too many times
And though I'd like to let you back into my life
Oh, that's a trigger and you know why

{Chorus}

So young man in the Nikes (Young man)
Don't tell me that you like me again (Oh)
I don't want you to lie to me (I don't want it, baby)
Pretend to start something you know is gonna end
Young man in the white tee (White tee)
I don't wanna be here again
You can't have my love for free (Can't have it, babe)
Then decide in the morning we're just friends again

{Outro}

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Oh, no-no, no, no
Oh, no, no-no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, ooh-ooh, baby
No-no, no-no, no
