lirik lagu freddy weller - the perfect stranger
[verse 1]
i was lying in a motel room in shreveport, louisiana
with the finest smirnoff vodka by my bed
thinking that i needed someone there to share it with me
i practiced some old lines that i have said
i walked up to the lounge and sat down by this pretty lady
she smiled at me and i said, “howdy, ma’am”
she said that in the shadows, i look just like paul mccartney
with a southern drawl, i said, “that’s who i am”
[chorus]
we laughed and talked awhile and then she said she had to leave
but i sold her on another drink or two
she said she never spent her evenings with a perfect stranger
i said, “i’m not perfect, but i’ll have to do”
[verse 2]
that organ player must have spent his daytimes working funerals
’cause every song he played was kind of dead
i asked her if she’d come to 314 for one last nightcap
remembering the bottle by my bed
we got to the room, i thought i’d died and gone to heaven
’cause she was just too pretty to be true
i went and closed the curtains and turned on the television
oh, what a lovely night it turned into
[chorus]
she said she was a lady and i said, “i know you are”
but it’s lonely when you’re far away from home
she was just a perfect stranger, lord, i have to say she was
the most perfect stranger that i’ve ever known
[verse 3]
now sometimes when i hold the little girl that calls me daddy
i think back to that louisiana night
the night the perfect stranger became the perfect lady
and the perfect lady’s now the perfect wife
[chorus]
she said she was a lady and i said, “i know you are”
but it’s lonely when you’re far away from home
she was just a perfect stranger, lord, i have to say she was
the most perfect stranger that i’ve ever known
the most perfect stranger that i’ve ever known
