You gave me an inch
And I gave you a mile
Your words be so sweet
Like a puppy when it smiles
I said I love my city
But only for a while
'cause around here
They all crooked like a smile
Oh when I close my eyes
I hide out for the night
I'm a stranger in the night
I don't mind
No
Oh when I close my eyes
I need a hideout for the night
I'm a stranger in the night
I don't mind
And when I close my eyes
I need a hideout for the night
I think I need
A stranger in the night
But I won't mind
No I won't mind
