Lyrics of Don't Talk to Strangers by Chris Gaylord
The wife you did take
It was all a mistake
And you′re married
And Jesus it's hell
You thought she was smarter
So you loved her hard
And then you said
"But how could I tell?"
You did not love her but many times over
You used her and pushed her aside
And when she came to you
You screamed what can I do I do not want you for a bride."
You told her don′t talk to strangers
And don't even smile
Cause its all your damn fault that we've got this sick child
You know I don′t love you and I never did
Now we′re stuck living here with a kid that just coughs in his room
My mother was right what she said about you.
And then as she cried in your nonchalant stride
You just laughed and told her to grow up.
It was not important she'd have an abortion
Was $500 enough?
But somehow the family that you hadn′t thought of
Did not feel like ending a life
The wedding was planned and you wept like a man
As she grew up and became your wife
And you told her don't talk to strangers
And don′t even smile
Cause its all your damn fault that we've got this sick child
You know I don′t love you and I never did
Now we're stuck living here with a kid that just coughs in his room
My mother was right what she said about you.
You used her some more and then finally she bore
An awakening moment of truth.
Reality kills and these mountains of bills
Do you have a gun I could use.
The wife you had taken now thin and misshapen
Was ugly from having your child.
The ugliness spread
And at last separate beds
She was lucky if you'd even smile.
You told her don′t talk to strangers
And don′t even smile
Cause its all your damn fault that we've got this sick child
You know I don′t love you and I never did
Now we're stuck living here with a kid that just coughs in his room
My mother was right what she said about you.
The worn out excuse for your constant abuse
Was the one thing you had on your side
Your wife had been made and so many times laid
And a recommendation was tried.
Your best friend of all told you she′s a good ball
And the thing that had made it much worse
The son that you had that would soon call you dad
Well you really weren't sure it was yours.
And you told her don′t talk to strangers
And don't even smile
Cause its all your damn fault that we've got this sick child
You know I don′t love you and I never did
Now we′re stuck living here with a kid that just coughs in his room
My mother was right what she said about you.
The times you had tried you could not satisfy
And your efforts you knew were in vain
The fact that before she'd had many good scores
Was a pounding down hard on your brain.
And so finally of course you asked for a divorce
But you could not get her to say yes
So you stormed out the door in your search for a whore
Who could make you forget the whole mess
And you said now don′t talk to strangers
And don't even smile
Cause its all your damn fault that we′ve got this sick child
You know I don't love you and I never did
Now we′re stuck living here with a kid that just coughs in his room
My mother was right what she said about you.
So she came to me and said help me oh please
I think that you know why I'm here.
And so it was done and while you had your fun
I made love through an ocean of tears.
Yeah she was with me but it ain't hard to see
When a woman is thinking of love.
I saw in her face during every embrace
It was you that she was thinking of.
And you told her don′t talk to strangers
And don′t even smile
Cause its all your damn fault that we've got this sick child
You know I don′t love you and I never did
Now we're stuck living here with a kid that just coughs in his room
My mother was right what she said about you.
Now I′ve been a thinking for hours and hours
My reason for wonderin in vain.
The one thing I want in this whole big old world
Is the girl that your'e driving insane
Well you want your freedom and I want her lovin
But I know it never can be.
The thing that you tell me has ruined your life
Well god knows I wish it′d happened to me!
Yeah and she don't talk to strangers
She never did smile
And it wasn't her fault that you both had that child
She really did love you I know that she did
And she loved livin there taking care of that kid and his cough.
If you′d have married your mother you′d have been better off.
