YOU'VE TURNED TO A STRANGER
(Jack Rhodes / Freddy Franks)


Wanda Jackson - 1958





The nights made you lonely, so you want to roam
You're no longer happy with me or your home
Your search for excitement continues to grow
You've turned to a stranger that I hardly know

The flashing of the neon and the songs that they play
The gay crowds and the laughter have lured you away
Once you wanted me with you everywhere that you'd go
But you've turned to a stranger that I hardly know

(Instrumental Break)

I can't wash the pain from my tortured mind
With the gay crowds and the music and the bright lights that shine
If this makes you happy, I don't blame you if you go
You've turned to a stranger that I hardly know

The glamour of the night life can't lure me away
I'd rather sit waiting and hope for the day
You'll return with your love that's faded so slow
No longer a stranger that I hardly know
