Boy George Stranger In This World Lyrics

Stranger In This World Lyrics

I'm turning my back on this life

For as long as I can

Someone make me star

'Cause I sure as hell can't be a man



I'm too fragile and clever you know

And this universe just leaves me cold

I'm just hanging around here

I'm longing for someone to hold



You always knew didn't you mother

You always knew as mothers always do

You always knew didn't you mother

I was a stranger in this world



This dumb education was never quite part

Of my plan

So you left me to ruin

But I'll always know who I am



I'm too fragile and clever you see

And your universe just leaves me cold

I'm just hanging around here

I'm longing for someone to hold



You always knew didn't you mother

You always knew as mothers always do

You always knew didn't you mother

I was a stranger in this world



Whoever told you that these were the days

Of our lives?

The sweet boys they crumble

And the wicked ones rise and survive

And they're running our lives

Yes they're running our lives



You always knew didn't you mother

You always knew as mothers always do

You always knew didn't you mother

I was a stranger in this world



On a clear day, I can see myself for miles

Oh mother, oh mother, mother
