YOU WOULDN'T SAY THAT TO A STRANGER
(Pat Bunch / Doug Crider)


Suzy Bogguss - 1993



 

I don't know why we act like that 
You hurt me, I only hurt you back 
I can't believe how carelessly we say those things 
That put our love in danger 
You wouldn't say that to a stranger 

We hurt the ones we love 
When we say those words in anger 
Do we ever make it up 
We say what we don't mean 
And then we say we're sorry later 
But you wouldn't say that to a stranger 

Last night there was over in the air 
Today it's gone just like it was never there 
And I don't know where those hateful words come from 
It goes against our nature
You wouldn't say that to a stranger 

We hurt the ones we love 
When we say those words in anger 
Do we ever make it up 
We say what we don't mean 
And then we say we're sorry later 
But you wouldn't say that to a stranger  

Let's pretend that we just met 
And we've said nothing we regret

(Instrumental Break) 

We say what we don't mean
And then we say we're sorry later 
But you wouldn't say that to a stranger
