about

I wrote this song to make fun of myself for being a social-distancer in 2016. And here we are...

lyrics

Wild child coming up the back street
Thinking we don't know, we don't understand
Not a word, trying to keep his head down
Trying not to shake on my hand
So I say

Hey, you don't know me, Stranger
So why you coming around?
Hey, you don't know me, Stranger
So why you coming around?

Big kid kicking at the bus stop
Looking for a reason to split
I said "...you got a reputation"
But truth is I don't know who he is
(I just wanted him to leave!)

Hey, you don't know me, Stranger
So why you coming around?
Hey, you don't know me, Stranger
So why you coming around?

I don't know ya
I don't know ya
I don't know ya
I don't know ya
I don't know ya
I don't know, but I think
I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think

Hey, you don't know me, Stranger
So why you coming around?
Hey, you don't know me, Stranger
So why you coming around?
(Oh, let me sing it again!)
