The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Stranger" by the artist "Usher"

Contents

In the song "Stranger," Usher sings about a girl who's afraid to open her heart to love again after a painful experience. The lyrical hero, on the other hand, is confident in his feelings and intends to win her over, despite her resistance.

He sees that she's hurting because of past relationships but believes he deserves a chance. He acknowledges her independence, but at the same time, hints that he's ready to be there for her and support her. The repeating phrase "What I gotta do" emphasizes his desire to understand her and find a way to break down the walls she's built around her heart.

[Chorus:]

Said you'll never give away your heart again

I'll be knockin til you let me in

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely

You don't even know me

That's why i no longer wanna be a stranger

Sorry you put your trust in others

And they let you down

And all the secrets an unknown evidence

Now in the open that you found

Cried yourself to sleep so many nights

Said you'd never again

I'm not the one you hold it against

Baby its not my plan

[Hook:]

Yeah you independent as hell

And doin it by yourself

But what you gone do

When the nightime get cold

I know you told me,

You'd rather be lonely

You don't even know me

I ain't moving out the way

For nothing, I'm stubborn

[Chorus:]

Cuz you said you'd never give away your heart again

I'll be knockin til you let me in

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely

(Tired of being your closest friend)

You don't even know me

That's why i no longer wanna be a stranger

Tell me...

What I gotta do... (x6)

Yeahh..

Your stuck inside no matter

How hard you try to forget

Don't you wish there

Was a button we could reset

And make it easy

But you can't take back

The decision that you made to love

Nooo, oh noo

I know its the one that you regretting,

Not so proud of, no

Because you keep tellin me

[Hook:]

Yeah you independent as hell

And doin it by yourself

But what you gone do

When the nightime get cold

I know you told me,

You'd rather be lonely

You don't even know me

I ain't moving out the way

For nothing, I'm stubborn

[Chorus:]

Cuz you said you'd never give away your heart again

I'll be knockin til you let me in

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely

(tired of being your closest friend)

you don't even know me

that's why I no longer wanna be a stranger

Tell me...

What I gotta do... (x6)

Yeahh..

[Bridge:]

I remember the break up

And the condition that my heart was in

But I would never surrender, no no

I gotta be stronger,

Theres nothing time can't heal

Girl, I know your scarred

All I ask is a chance

To come in and do my part

It's nothing but fear and

You've been holding on since

Too under pressure

And I see us sinking in

[Chorus:]

Said you'll neva give away your heart again

I'll be knockin til you let me in

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely

You don't even know me

That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger

What I gotta do... (6x)
