I saw A Stranger With Your Hair Lyrics

I saw a stranger with your hair
tried to make her give it back
so I could send it off to you
maybe Federal Express
'cause I'd know you'd miss it

I saw another with your eyes
flash just turned my head
I went to try them on for size
they looked the other way
they wouldn't miss 'em

CHORUS
But you're never hard to find in a crowd
people around you smiling out loud
your feet don't touch the ground
no, your feet don't touch the ground
your feet don't touch the ground

I heard a stranger with your voice
it took me by suprise
again I found it wasn't you
just an angel in disguise
in for a visit

By the way, how is my heart? I haven't seen it since you left
I'm almost sure it followed you
would you sometime send it back?

(CHORUS)

I saw a stranger with your hair
I saw another with your eyes
I heard an angel with your voice

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
