Suzy Bogguss - You Wouldn't Say That to a Stranger Lyrics

I don't know why we act like that
You hurt me, I only hurt you back
I can't believe how carelessly we say those things
That put our love in danger.

You wouldn't say that to a stranger, we hurt the ones we love
When we say those words in anger, do we ever make it up
We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that to a stranger.

Last night, there was over in the air
Toda,y it's gone just like it was never there
And I don't know where those hateful words come from
It goes against our nature.

You wouldn't say that to a stranger, we hurt the ones we love
When we say those words in anger, do we ever make it up
We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that to a stranger.

Let's pretend that we just met.
And we said nothing we regret.

--- Instrumental ---

We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that to a stranger...
