You Wouldn't Say That To A Stranger - Suzy Bogguss

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

Today 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

We say what we don’t mean and then we say we’re sorry later

But you wouldn’t say that to a stranger
