Taken By A Stranger

Lyrics and Music by Gus Seyffert, Nicole Morier, Monica Birkenes
Германия / Евровидение 2011

She’s got a knuckle in her eye,
He knows her catcall,
Can’t escape from telling lies,
I heard her saying:

   “Hey, mind if I take this chair?”
   “Hey, mind if I take this chair?”

He drops a pause,
She looks annoyed,
But she’s so mean,
He thinks she has to be the one.

Chorus:
     Taken by a stranger,
     Stranger things
     Are starting to begin.
     Lured into the danger,
     Trip me up
     And spin me round again.

You got some coffee on your collar,
And you forgot to comb your hair.
But I can’t wait till I do better,
You’re here and I don’t care.

   I can’t help it if you like it,
   ‘Cause I won’t be here tomorrow.
   No one ever told you
   That you wouldn’t be rejected.

Chorus:
     Taken by a stranger,
     Stranger things
     Are starting to begin.
     Lured into the danger
     (Danger is a risky business),
     Trip me up
     And spin me round again.

     Dip-dip-dada-dada-da…

     Uh-uh-uh-uh,
     Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah…

Put the blindfold on his eyes,
She saw him peek through,
Can’t imagine her disguise,
I heard her saying:

   “Hey, mind if I take this chair?”
   Yeah, see if I care.

Chorus:
     Taken by a stranger,
     Stranger things
     Are starting to begin.
     Lured into the danger
     (Danger is a risky business),
     Trip me up
     And spin me round again.
