Lyrics Petula Clark

Petula Clark

Strangers and Lovers

Strangers walking in the city

Such a lonely city they found

Up from the country

Down on the money

They just seem to wander around

Strangers no one seems to notice

No one wants to show them the way

Home to their one room

They have to wander

And that's how it happens each day

Waiting for good luck to find them

Waiting for fortune to call

Not wanting to go back and having to show that

It just didn't work out at all

Strangers, strangers in the city

Such a lonely city, it's true

I hope for your sake

Long as you're living

This never happens to you

Lovers, lovers in the city

Such a happy city it seems

Up in the clouds now

They wander downtown

Full of their own special dreams

Lovers, no one seems to them

And no one needs to show them the way

Home to the one room

Each night, they wander

And that's how they close every day

Waiting for nothing to happen

Waiting for no one to call

Lovers forever will stay close together

And just want each other, that's all, yeah

Lovers, lovers in the city

Such a happy future, they've found

So much in love now

They never notice

The strangers that wander around

Strangers, lovers

Strangers, love-love-lovers
