Lyrics
I see you stepping high with your tight blue jeans on
Strutting like a button down paragon
I reckon you're looking for some necking, yes I do
Climb right on up into my manger
But let me warn you 'bout one small danger, babe
I can't shake the stranger out of you
I see you prancing and preening as smooth as you can
You're hotter than the popcorn dancing in the pan
Out to capture a chunk of rapture with someone new
Well, I can hit the sack like an aristocrat
If you'd let me be your trick in a box of crackerjacks
But I can't shake the stranger out of you
You're a romping bronco, I must admit
Stomping while your lips are chomping at the bit
Sure I'll kiss you, but who's gonna miss you
When you're chasing midnight's through
Be glad to be your one shot pleasure
Even leave you grieving at your leisure, babe
But I can't shake the stranger out of you
All your favorite fantasies will come to an end
And you'll be waking up tomorrow needing a friend
Cuz I can't shake the stranger out of you

My favorite cover of this song so far. I was fortunate to see Patrick Haggerty perform this at a concert/q+a the summer before he died. This has an entirely different vibe, and it's just as beautiful.
