[Intro — whispered] Lipstick on the bathroom mirror. One more drink, and you’ll look nearer. [Verse 1] You found me underneath the violet lights, Said I was trouble with a face like mine. Your hand on my waist, your eyes on the door, You wanted a secret, I wanted much more. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, honey, don’t you make that face, You love the chase, not the embrace. So turn the music up for me, And let me be your fantasy. [Chorus — huge, theatrical] Kiss me like a stranger, Love me like a lie. Hold me in the spotlight, Leave me there to die— Of embarrassment tomorrow When you won’t look me in the eye. Kiss me like a stranger, Just don’t call me yours tonight! [Verse 2] I’m wearing heartbreak with a glitter dress, A little too much and a little obsessed. My friends say, “Baby, he’s not your fate,” But I look for your car at a quarter to eight. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, honey, don’t you make that face, You love the chase, not the embrace. So turn the music up for me, And let me be your fantasy. [Bridge — dramatic, almost spoken] I could be your midnight, I could be your sin. But I can’t keep losing Just to let you win. [Final Chorus — explosive] Kiss me like a stranger, Love me like a lie. Give me all the glitter, Give me one good night. Tomorrow I’ll be laughing With my mascara running dry. Kiss me like a stranger— Darling, wave goodbye! [Outro — whispered] The lights are on. You’re still gone.
