Norm Crouse - Treat Me Like a Stranger Lyrics

You tell me after years together
I should understand
Say it's just a small request
But it seems like a demand
You say that I''m too sensitive
I should just forget
Say, "if you really love me"
Like it's something of a threat

Treat me like a stranger
Like someone you just met
Treat me like a friend
You haven't taken for granted yet
Treat me like I'm someone special
Someone that you'd choose
Treat me like a someone
That you're afraid to lose

You tell me that you're sorry
Say you'll change your ways
You tell me you'll try harder
Like a promise in a phrase
Say that you were angry
Feeling so much pain
You say it's just your nature
You're really not to blame

Treat me like a stranger
Like someone you just met
Treat me like a friend
You haven't taken for granted yet
Treat me like I'm someone special
Someone that you'd choose
Treat me like a someone
That you're afraid to lose

There's only so much disrespect
There's only so much heartache
For each and everyone of us
There's some point where we break

Always know that I can choose
To turn and walk away
With all you say or do, remember
I don't have to stay
Not that I don't love you
But that I love me more
And even though I love you
I can still walk out the door

Treat me like a stranger
Like someone you just met
Treat me like a friend
You haven't taken for granted yet
Treat me like I'm someone special
Someone that you'd choose
Treat me like a someone
That you're afraid to lose

Yes, treat me like a stranger
Like someone that you need
Give it like a gift
Not like something you concede
Treat me like I'm someone special
Someone that you'd choose
Treat me like that someone
You're going to lose
