Let's say we're strangers

In the night there's a dog howling far far away
I think that he's wild but he could be a stray
And he looks just like you
Howls like you too
I wish I could make him stay
But he won't come to my calls
And he won't take my bait
So I shook a can hard just to scare him away

Let's say we're strangers

The earth it shakes
The mind it makes
A bird can fly
With planes in the sky
Do you see me up there
I see you everywhere

But let's say we're strangers

In my heart there's a mark and a sigh takes its place
If I were a man my hips wouldn't sway
We could call ourselves friends
What an easier end
But I'm a woman and I ain't gonna change
You held your breath and I said you can't stay
So I shook a can hard just to scare you away

Let's say we're strangers
Let's say we're strangers
