I had it with the same old routine
I had it with the same old faces, places
Everynight, in my life
I started feeling washed up, washed out
Hung up, wrung out, left to dry out
Everynight
But I know
Yeah, I know you’re out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin’
I’m Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight
I’m tired of the same old –
Hello baby, how ya doun’? Come here often?”
Where have you been all my life?”
Everynight
But I know
That someday, somewhere
I’ll turn around and you’ll be there
Ooo.., In my life
Everynight
But I know
Yeah, I know you’re out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin’
I’m Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight
I’m Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight
- Debuted on the chart on April 23, 1983
Peaked at #39 on the Pop charts, #4 on the Album Rock charts
Spent 10 weeks on the charts
Highest debut off this album – at #71 - Pat: There’s not a lot of complex stuff in there; it’s pretty simple. It’s just a lot of new keyboards. Neil: That was a real Charlie arrangement. His soul just came right through on the keyboard and it formed the whole song for us. The demo we had on it was pretty good, but it sounded so close to Never Wanna Leave You. We thought it would be like us doing ourselves again.
