Lyrics
VERSE 1 :
Opening of the first verse
I just need a cup of tea
Desire for simplicity, possibly indicating a need for comfort
And one more song
Yearning for more music
Oh baby can you do that thing
Asking for a specific action or gesture
That I love so much
Requesting something beloved or cherished
I wanna see your silhouette
Wanting to perceive the outline or essence of the person
I gotta feel your touch ( oh babe )
Craving physical contact and intimacy
And we talk you give me strength
Conversation brings emotional strength
It keeps me wanting you more , yea
Feeling the desire for more of the partner
PRE :
Transition to the chorus
You know I love you baby
Reaffirming love for the partner
( You know I love ya )
Repetition of affection
So lets stop playing games
Desire to end emotional games in the relationship
( I'm done with the heartache )
Expressing exhaustion from heartache
Come let me hold you in my arms
Wishing to embrace the partner
And never let go
Desire to hold on tightly to the relationship
Give me all the love we had
Yearning for the return of previous love
With no strings
Desiring love without any conditions or complications
Hook :
Introduction to the chorus
Don't be a stranger
Reiteration of not wanting the partner to become distant or unfamiliar
Don't be a stranger
-( baby no don't be )
-Don't be a stranger
-( don't be strange )
-Don't be a stranger
-( don't be a stranger )
-Don't be a stranger no
-VERSE 2:
Beginning of the second verse
I want it like the old days
Longing for a return to past experiences
Lets go back in time
Desire to recreate the feelings from earlier times
Ill make it feel the same just like before
Promising to revive the emotions from the past
The good times and the late nights
Recalling enjoyable moments
Forget about what they think of us
Disregarding others' opinions about the relationship
It don't matter its all in the past
Rejecting the significance of past events
All I wanna do is make it last
Desire for the relationship to endure
No strings attached
Emphasizing a lack of conditions in the relationship
Hook :
Repeated plea to avoid becoming distant or unfamiliar
Don't be a stranger
-( no no no , yea )
-Don't be a stranger
-( no no no no no , aye )
-Don't be a stranger
-( never ever , ever again )
-Don't be a stranger
-( wooah woah yea )
-Don't be a stranger
-TALK :
Transition to a conversational tone
I know we didn't work out the way I thought it should be
Admitting that the relationship didn't unfold as expected
But
Introduction to a reflective statement
I still dig you
Asserting mutual affection
You dig me
Suggesting to maintain a casual and friendly relationship
Lets just keep it cool
Invitation to spend time together casually
Come through
Encouraging a lack of attachment
No stings
Reiteration of the desire for a non-committal relationship
And don't be a stranger
Final plea to maintain contact and avoid becoming distant
( Don't be a stranger )
