Lyrics

Don't ever talk to strangers
That's what daddy told me long ago
I didn't know your kisses sweet would be bad for me
Don't give your love to strangers
He's looking for a way to capture your heart
Bellman, please
I'm checking in at the heartbreak inn
When I finally looked into your eyes
Much to my surprise
I found to you
Love's a game to be played
Yes, played from time to time
I'm swallowing my pride
Come back, you're blowing my mind
Listen to me, listen please
It's your conscience
He don't love you, he don't care
This is nonsense, nonsense
Listen to me, listen please
It's your conscience
He don't love you, he don't care
This is nonsense, nonsense
Don't ever let a stranger fill your pretty head
With fantasies and make believe
He'll only deceive
Give my heart back to me
Don't give your love to strangers
He's looking for a way to capture your heart
Bellman please
I'm checking in at the heartbreak inn
When I finally looked into your eyes
Much to my surprise
I found to you
Love's a game to be played
Yes, played from time to time
I'm swallowing my pride
Come back, you're blowing my mind
Listen to me, listen please
It's your conscience
He don't love you, he don't care
This is nonsense, nonsense
Listen to me, listen please
It's your conscience
He don't love you, he don't care
This is nonsense, nonsense
Listen to me, listen please
It's your conscience
He don't love you, he don't care
This is nonsense, nonsense
Listen to me, listen please
He's a stranger
He don't love you, he don't care
You're in danger, danger, danger
Oh
Listen to me, listen please
It's your conscience
He don't love you
He don't care
This is nonsense, nonsense
Listen to me, listen please
He's a stranger, yeah, yeah
He don't love you
He don't care
You're in danger, danger, danger
Oh, oh, oh, oh
