"Stranger"
by Brian K. Vagnini
finished 12/15/02 (for Cherise)

A Bm
(V) There was a stranger
but I knew her well
She used to come round all the time
and now it's just for thrills

G A D C
(C) But I like it anyway
I only wish that she would stay

(V) She was a good friend
but I wanted more
couldn't decide on me on not
it's like a yo-yo

She would come round all the time
and we would have a ball
the next week she would disappear
She won't be gone for long

(C) But I like it anyway
I only wish that she would stay
I need to know how she feels
are her feelings for me real?


SOLO (V and C)

(V) There was a stranger
and I knew her well
but she has gone out of my life
I hope that all is well

I often wonder how she is
I should give her a call
We could talk about old times
and we would have a ball

(C) But I like it anyway
I only wish that she'd stayed
God only knows how it wouldv'e been
at least we are still friends

(V 2x)

There was a stranger
and I knew her well

Written for Cherise, who was absolutely beautiful. However, she was a bit younger than I was and she decided to go back to her abusive boyfriend that I had rescued her from in the first place. Hence the yo-yo reference. After she decided to go back to him, my feelings for her changed. I don't much care for being used, and I could see that it might have gone that way.
