  • I don't know the name of the town you're from
    Your star sign or the school you failed
    I don't know and I don't care (don't care, don't care) (I'm living a lot like you)
    I don't know the food that's your favorite now
    Your work or what you're working around
    I don't know and I don't care (don't care, don't care) (I'm living a lot like you)

    And that's okay with me
    To live my life with some mystery
    Please, don't say that I must know

    And that's alright, I say
    We're all getting through this our own way
    I'd rather know nothing than all the lies
    Just give me the person you are tonight

    Oh, we can make it work
    What we don't know will never hurt
    It's true you're a stranger, so you're perfect
    You're a stranger, so you're perfect

    You're perfect, baby
    My perfect stranger
    You're beautiful, you're worth it
    You're the best and you deserve it
    You're a stranger, so you're perfect
    You're a stranger, so you're perfect
    I love the danger
    You're the perfect stranger

    I don't know your friends or your ex's name
    Who left who or who took the blame
    I don't know and I don't care (don't care, don't care) (I'm living a lot like you)

    And that's okay with me
    I don't wanna have the anxiety
    Please, don't say so I won't know
    Don't say, I don't wanna know

    And that's alright, I say
    We're all getting through this our own way
    I'd rather know nothing than all the lies
    Just give me the person you are tonight

    Oh, we can make it work
    What we don't know will never hurt
    It's true you're a stranger, so you're perfect
    You're a stranger, so you're perfect

    You're perfect, baby
    My perfect stranger
    You're beautiful, you're worth it
    You're the best and you deserve it
    You're a stranger, so you're perfect
    You're a stranger, so you're perfect
    I love the danger
    You're the perfect stranger

    What is this human nature?
    Don't answer, I'm in rapture
    You're perfect, baby
    My perfect stranger
    Let's love in words unspoken
    Let's stay naive unbroken
    I love the danger
    You're the perfect stranger Writer/s: Lewis Roberts, Mark Williams, Mikkel S Eriksen, Raul Cubina, Tahliah Debrett Barnett, Tor Erik Hermansen
