Thought I lost you but I saw you on the corner in the city
The last time I saw you dancing you were doing alright
But I know that same old story, how you said you were leaving
And I know you didn't care and now I'm worried you're gone
So take a trip to the stranger part of town

I said the last thing I remember was you said that you'd seen me
As I stumbled down the streets of 6th avenue
And I knew you meant it all when you said you were ready
And I knew right then and there that was all I could do
So take a trip to the stranger part of town

Sometimes I wish that I could go back in time
'Cause I knew it was nobody's fault but mine
She said she would never let me down, oh yeah
So take a trip, take a trip to the stranger part of town

I said a slick 'ole tip of the rye, you know it got me to thinking
That this old lady's gone and I can say bye-bye
But just right then and there my telephone started ringing
She told me I could stay, if it was just for the night
So take a trip to the stranger part of town

Take a trip to the stranger part of town
