Once you was my true love, stranger at my door
But you went to find a new love, stranger at my door
Now you cry for me to let you in, to break my heart (that won't come again)
You hurt me, like you did before, but never again stranger at my door
She was my true love (alright now), stranger at my door
But you went to find a new love (mmhmm now), stranger at my door
The heartaches you gave me, since you been away has healed
And the scar is gone (yeahhh lord)
Time has helped me to forget about you, 
And you like a stranger to me now baby for you stayed away too long
Once you was my true love (alright now), stranger at my door
But you went to find a new love, stranger at my door
Once you was my true love, get away now baby, stranger at my door
I don't want you hanging round no more
