Lyrics
What if we never met
Yeah girl imagine that
If we never fell in love
And you and me were never us
If you were just a girl
And I was just some guy
Sitting here just like this
And you walked in tonight
There ain’t no doubt in my mind
I’d be falling for a stranger
I’d be tripping over myself
Like who’s that
Gotta make her
Mine all mine
Yeah if I saw you again for the first time
Well I’d be thinking about the rest of my life
Somewhere between hey and what you doing later
I’d be falling for a stranger
Falling
Falling
I’d be falling for a stranger
On a crowded downtown street
You’d stop me in my tracks
At a county fair
Hell anywhere
If you looked at me like that
There’d be no going back
Yeah I’d be falling for a stranger
I’d be tripping over myself
Like who’s that
Gotta make her
Mine all mine
Yeah if I saw you again for the first time
Well I’d be thinking about the rest of my life
Somewhere between hey and what you doing later
I’d be falling for a stranger
I’d be falling
Falling
I’d be falling for a stranger
Yeah if you walked in tonight
There ain’t no doubt in my mind
I’d be falling
Falling
Falling for a stranger
I’d be tripping over myself
Like who’s that
Gotta make her
Mine all mine
Yeah if I saw you again for the first time
Once I caught my breath and we locked eyes
Right there between hey and what you doing later
I’d be falling for a stranger
Falling
Falling
Yeah I’d be falling for a stranger
Falling
Falling
I’d be falling for a stranger
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
