Stranger Lyrics

Scarlet lips, a silk embrace
But there's no laughter in her face
A crowded room is a lonely place full of lies
A wicked smile a shifting glance
The passion light you feel at last
Her pleasure somehow eased the pain
Too late to chance it all again

Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Killing the love that drives you out of your mind
When you dance with a stranger

A spinning room a cool caress
A try to hide my loneliness
Cheek to cheek we let the evening drift by
The hollow mask has disappeared
We drown our love through salty tears
We speed at night like a racing car
And now I see you as you really are

Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger
Dance
Dance with a stranger
Dance

Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger
Dance
Dance with a stranger
Dance

Watching and waiting
For the moment to arrive
Dance with a stranger
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger
Dance
Dance with a stranger
Dance

L.T.D. was a R&B, disco and funk band that had a string of hits in the 1970s.


Band formation
L.T.D. (which stood for Love, Togetherness and Devotion) was formed in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1968 by keyboardist Jimmie "J.D." Davis and saxophonist Abraham "Onion" Miller. Both were former backing musicians for soul duo Sam and Dave. The band was originally named Love Men, Ltd.

The other members of the band were recruited following the relocation of Jimmie and Abraham to New York City:

Henry Davis, bassist
Johnny McGhee, guitarist
Carle Vickers, trumpeter
Arthur "Lorenzo" Carnegie, saxophonist
Toby Wynn, saxophonist
Jake Riley, Jr., trombonist
Jeffrey Osborne, singer and drummer
The group then settled in Los Angeles, where Osborne's brother, Billy Osborne joined the lineup as the keyboardist.


Discography
L.T.D. signed with the A&M label to issue their 1974 debut Love, Togetherness and Devotion. On their third LP, 1976's Love to the World, the group scored their first Top 20 pop hit, Love Ballad. The follow-up, 1977's Something to Love, included the top five track (Every Time I Turn Around) Back in Love Again. Four years later L.T.D. returned to the Top 40 once again with Shine On.
