MARTHA WAINWRIGHT LYRICS - Love Is A Stranger

"Love Is A Stranger"



Love is a stranger in an open car

To tempt you in and drive you far away

I said love is a stranger in an open car

To tempt you in and drive you far away



Well love, love, love is a dangerous drug

You have to receive it

But you still can't get enough of the stuff



And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

It's an obsession



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

I said love is a danger of a different kind

To take you away and leave you far behind



It's savage and it's cruel

And it shines like destruction

Comes in like the flood

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



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 its 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



And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

It's an obsession
