as performed by Heart

I'm so tired of these men trying to impress me with nothing
The same old routine and the smooth fancy talking
Now I know and believe that I found it for real
?cause you're good and you?re kind, and you care how I feel

I had a tall, dark handsome stranger
I've had the devil in disguise
I've been attracted to the danger
But I was never satisfied
And I know what I like, and I like what I see in your eyes

Oh, you're so beautiful

I've been pushed, I've been pulled, I've been put out and trod on
Just by takin' my chances I finally caught on
When I see in your eyes all the love shining through
I'm glad I held out for somebody like you

I had a tall, dark handsome stranger
I've had the devil in disguise
I've been attracted to the danger
But I was never satisfied
And I know what I like, and I like what I see in your eyes

Heaven must have sent you I know
You're so good to me, I feel good with you
I'd be such a fool to let go
There's something about you
I can't live without you

I've had fast talking, good looking men at my door
Now I'm a wiser woman than I was before

I had a tall, dark handsome stranger
I've had the devil in disguise
I've been attracted to the danger
But I was never, never, never satisfied
And I know what I like, and I like what I see in your eyes, baby

I had a tall, dark handsome stranger
I've had the devil in disguise
I've been attracted by the danger
But I was never, never, never satisfied
And I know what I like, and I like what I see in your eyes

Oh, yeah
Yes, yes, yeah
I had a tall, dark handsome man, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
