[ Intro ] [ Verse 1 ] Don't know how to say this. Not used to being tongue-tied. I just get distracted. When I look into your eyes. I cannot explain this. Guess it must be fate. Gotta let you know how I'm feelin'. Before it is too late. [ Chorus ] I know there's no danger. I don't want to fight. I'm no portrait painter. But you just look so right. Your friends say "you can't change her". But I think you might. We're No Longer Strangers. Stay with me tonight. [ Verse 2 ] Have to hold my hands up. Not used to this thing. Wrap boys 'round my little finger. Puppets on a string. But darlin' you changed everything. You're a work of art. I've already fallen. Given you my heart. [ Chorus ] I know there's no danger. I don't want to fight. I'm no portrait painter. But you just look so right. Your friends say "you can't change her". But I think you might. We're No Longer Strangers. Stay with me tonight. [ Bridge ] I did not know - how much I needed this feeling. So suddenly - it feels like I'm dreaming. We've only just met - known you all my life. Been walkin' in darkness - now you are my light! [ Final Chorus ] Oh, I know there's no danger! No, I don't want to fight. I am surely no portrait painter! But you just look so right. Your friends say "you can't change her"! If anyone can, you might. We're No Longer Strangers! Stay! Yes, stay with me tonight! [ Outro ] (No Longer Strangers...) (Stay With Me Tonight) (No Longer Strangers...)
