Valerie Simpson
Beware of a Stranger
[Verse 1]
Beware of a stranger in the shadows behind you
No matter where you go, she's gonna find you
There's no need to be alarmed
She'll never do you any harm

[Chorus]
It's just me (Seeking your lovin')
Seeking your love, it's just me (Seeking your lovin')
Tryna get a little bit closer

[Verse 2]
You may hear a voice whisper your name
Or outside your door, footsteps in rain
And though you think when you stare at her
(Beware of a stranger)
She's a suspicious character

[Chorus]
It's just me (Seeking your lovin')
Seeking your love, it's just me (Seeking your lovin')
Tryna get into your life, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
But if you stop, for a moment, you'll find
The stranger has a heart that's warm and kind
I'm not looking to take, only to give
But you must surrender on your own free will, yeah
Oh-oh-oh yeah, yeah, hoo
[Verse 3]
She keeps a record of everything you do
'Cause she's just tryin' to learn how to be good to you
So when she sneaks up on you late one night
(Beware of a stranger)
Just open up your arms and hold her tight

[Outro]
'Cause it'll be me (Seeking your lovin')
Seeking your love, and it'll be me (Seeking your lovin')
Tryna get a little bit closer
It'll be me (Seeking your lovin')
Seeking your lovin', it'll be me (Seeking your lovin')
Tryna get a little bit, get a little bit
(Seeking your lovin')
Seeking your love, so it'll be me, hoo, me
(Seeking your lovin') Yeah, little old me
It'll just be me (Seeking your lovin')
Tryna get a little bit closer, little old me
(Seeking your lovin')
Tryna get into your life, me (Seeking your lovin')
It'll be me
