#SLS for 11/1/20

The prompts are smart/stupid. This was tough for me. I knew right away I wasn’t going to use stupid. And for smart nothing came to mind so I had to search. That bring analysis paralysis with all the good choices. Finally I landed on Beautiful Stranger sung by Madonna. Writer(s): Madonna L Ciccone, William Orbit, Arthur Taylor Lee. Hope you enjoy!

“Beautiful Stranger”
(from “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” soundtrack)

Haven’t we met?
You’re some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I’ve had the taste for danger

If I’m smart then I’ll run away
But I’m not so I guess I’ll stay
Heaven forbid
I’ll take my chance on a beautiful stranger

I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You’re the devil in disguise
That’s why I’m singing this song

To know you
Is to love you
You’re everywhere I go
And everybody knows

To love you
Is to be part of you
I’ve paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride

Da da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger
Da da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger

If I’m smart then I’ll run away
But I’m not so I guess I’ll stay
Haven’t you heard?
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger

I looked into your face
My heart was dancing all over the place
I’d like to change my point of view
If I could just forget about you

To know you
Is to love you
You’re everywhere I go
And everybody knows

I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You’re the devil in disguise
That’s why I’m singing this song to you

To know you
Is to love you
You’re everywhere I go
And everybody knows
I’ve paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride

Da da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger
Da da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger
