The Perfect Stranger

August 9, 2006

You hear the knocking but won’t let me in
The perfect stranger with blue eyes and a grin
Understandable because I’ll just leave you behind
A pile of memories that only clutter your mind

Someday you’ll wish you’d taken that chance
Opened the door, said hello to romance
So smart, being the one that’s cautious
The one person to blame, the reason love lost us

As if I needed more evidence
Nice guys never finish, never second guess
One more clue is uncovered
Good girls aren’t good, not like a mother

So I’ll pick up what I brought
Knowing it’s not an adventure you sought
The line of approachers getting thin
Just a perfect stranger, with blues eyes and a grin
