A Stranger

I look at people but everybody looks like a stranger to me I don't know them Do I want to know them? No Why should I know them? They don't do anything for me I got all I need In here - me Why should I know them? Why would I know them? I couldn't care less I don't need to know nobody There is no reason to I could survive on my own Do I want to be on my own? I don't know Sometimes I just don't want to know nobody Be on an island - by myself But at other times I want to be with everybody And have everybody to myself What is this polarization? I can be hot And I can be cold I can be mean And I can be keen Sprint, blink, swing Help me to be even Do I need to be even? Do I want to be even? No, no, no I am not on even keel I don't eat even leaves I don't give evenly Why do I need to be even? I have it all Why do I want to be even? Haven't I had it all? Ahhh but why? Why they look like strangers And why they look like friends? When they come closer And when I truly care Now I don't care Go No come No go Come No go Make up your mind Ok make up my mind You can come And you can go And you will always be a friend to me But when ahh ahh Can't go back now Can you be a little bit a stranger?
