Deniece Williams - Strangers Lyrics






Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

There was a time when we were lovers
Each time we'd meet ecstasy, we'd discover

But we're strangers to each other now
Strangers to each other now

You were so free and so willing to fly
Now you're all changed, this new you can't be right

What we shared is over now
I guess this is our fate
Can we part at least friends for now
And the love, and the love I will wait

Ooh, strangers to each other now
Strangers to each other now

Ooh, memories of love and the fun that we had
Haunt me at night and my days are so sad

What we shared is over now
I guess this is our fate
Can we part at least friends for now
And the love, and the love, baby, I will wait

Ooh, darling, we're strangers to each other now
Ooh, darling, we're strangers to each other now

There's no more you, there's no more me
There's no more love, there's no more love
And this is where the story ends
Strangers, oh-oh-oh...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Strangers to each other now
Oh, baby, you let the love slip away
Ooh... strangers

There's no more you, no more me
There's no more love, there's no more love
And this is where the story ends
Strangers to each other now
Well, I can't pretend that love's the same no more
Ooh-ooh...
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh... strangers
Oh, ooh... the love slipped away

There's no more me, there's no more you
There's no more love, there's no more love
And this is where the story ends
Oh... ooh-ooh-ooh...

(There's no more me, there's no more you)
(There's no more me, there's no more you)
(There's no more me, there's no more you)
We're strangers to each other now
Memories haunt me at night
All I can do is hold my pillow tight
I've never been so good now...

    In almost every song Niecy tell's a story of a journey maybe her's. And there's no other singer that deliver a song like Deniece. I have to say she is so unique. Extraordinary gift. I love hearing her sing and speak beautifully.❤️💯💐

  4. S.... N....

    "Touch Me Again"

  5. L.... W....

    We don't have to compare any of those great vocalists.I liked them all for different reasons.They all had something about them.Listen at Mariah's "My All ", "Vanishing", "Vision of Love", " Underneath the Stars".

  6. D.... W....

  10. T.... S....

    This song right here should have been a theme song to a movie or series with Niecy's heavenly vocals..This lady had the most powerful sensational vocals... Marvelous Songbird🐦 with the voice of an angel.🎤🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤❤❤

  17. D.... W....

    Butterfly vocal acribatics

  18. l.... l....

    Omg!!!!!!!!

  19. m.... ....

    Niecy Williams is a true vocal genius and one of the greatest singers of the upper register. But the reason that I rank Minnie one and Niecy two on the list is because Riperton could sing up there with more force and power. It’s an amazing feat to be able to reach octaves that high like Niecy, Mariah, Chante, Fischer and a few others but Riperton use to go up there with power still in the voice. It’s was amazing.

  20. M.... S....

    There's no more you....there's no more me

  21. D.... S....

    "TIMELESS MELODY" - DJS - 1/30/19

  22. G.... H....

    Wow, Niecy and Minnie...but this song is so real.

  23. 9.... ....

    O-M-G!!! This song STILL raises every hair on my body when she opens...I played this song so much that: 1) I wore out 6 copies of the LP, 2) I wore out 10 cassette tapes, 3) and I wore out 2 CD's!! I am still in love with this song after all these years!!!! CHILL BUMPS along with spine-tingling hair-raising...yes, it still "Lets me HAVE IT!!!!" …"there's no more you...there's no more me, there's no more love there's no more love and this is where the story ends - PRICELESS!

  24. D.... W....

    Love this Song!!! Still Listening in 2018!!!!

  25. L.... B....

    neicy you're. one. of. the. greatest. besides. Whitney. Houston. we. Love. you. Always. God. bless. you and. thanks. for. giving. us. your. all. Amen.!!!!

    L.... B....

    I'm in Chicago where are you

  26. M.... G....

    Bomb baby, she has the most powerful voice Niecy love ur amazing voice 💟 great song #Strangers.

  27. K.... R....

    her range makes mariah look like a pariah - do it niecy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    K.... R....

    I would also put Chaka Khan in that category because of her vocals she is powerful as well

  28. S.... ....

    Maybe I Smoked too much pot in my time, but the instrumentation of this song, in the beginning, sounds a little sinister and combine that with the look in Deniece Williams' eyes, it just seems a little erie if you ask me.

    S.... ....

    Funny. Leave the weed alone....

  29. B.... N....

    My shyyyyyyyyyyt!

  30. D.... G....

    Deniece Williams - Strangers 1981

  31. F.... ....

    I will take Niecy voice of Minnie's because Niecy sings as if she is telling you a story. Her melodic voice paint vivid pictures inside the listeners mind.

    F.... ....

    Yes this is so true I love her voice you can envision her telling him this letting him down ever so sweetly no more you no more and i can see just her walking away as if to say don't follow me. No more you no me

  32. L.... T....

    A true human songbird

    L.... T....

    Levern Thompson You stated this eloquently. She really is a human songbird!! This may be hard to believe for some, but with that voice I believe Niecy is an incarnated human angel because her voice vibrates and resonates on a frequency or wavelength that is beyond space and time as we know it!

  33. B.... P....

    Love Me Some Neicy. this is my favorite but She also kills Black Butterfly

  34. T.... S....

    She is the best female songstress I've heard in my lifetime and Deniece and I are close in age. She has the voice of angel. Her voice is so instrumental. And she's so pretty. Thank you Deniece for sharing such a beautiful voice. 🎶🎤🎼🎹🎶👼

  35. D.... S....

    One of my favourite vocal performances, what an opening. PMD was genius to sample this on 'Next Chapter', 'The Awakening'', love the connection between soul & hip hop.. ❤️👊

  36. M.... R....

    DIS GURL CAN SANG.

    M.... R....

    Marcus Reeves Yes sir!! Deniece's vocals with Thom Bell's production is simply magic.

  37. S.... N....

    Why the hell do I keep seeing the name Mariah Carey, she is so trash compared to Miss Williams

  38. A.... H....

    Her pleading vocals, the musical/vocal response...it's just so beautiful, it's a real shame that we don't have this magic anymore.

  39. p.... b....

    lets get it in....

  40. O.... T....

    LOVE this song!!

  41. B.... K....

  46. M.... P....

    M.... P....

  47. C.... ....

    Love this love this love this!

  48. J.... M....

    Never would I become contentious or truculent with my dear YouTube family, but may I gently assert the following?

    There is NO soprano (Mariah Carey and Minnie Riperton included) who could match Miss Williams interns of her power and clarity in the upper registers. She did all this without straining, nor sacrificing the warmth, intimacy and accessibility of her tone. Add to that the golden production of the EW&F (Stepney/White) team of her peak years, and she remains the standard by which all others must be judged.

    Niecy a baaaaaad girl! 😊

    J.... M....

    Jamil Muhammad EPITOME OF VOCAL EXCELLENCE

    J.... M....

    @Jamil Muhammad However, Minnie Riperton had an awesome range as well.

    J.... M....

    Yes, Niecy is one of the best coloratura sopranos in the popular music realm. She along with Minnie, Uma Sumac, and maybe a few others who came along during the era where there were no other female voices on the radio who sounded like this. Later generations of high sopranos who were influenced by them ( Mariah, Chante Moore, Shaniece, Lisa Fischer, etc) came along because Niecy and Minnie in particular had paved the way.

    J.... M....

    U said a mouthful....u r absolutely correct!

    J.... M....

    Jamil Muhammad yes a legendary songbird who has yet to be recognized for her contribution.

  49. S.... F....

    You should check her out singing background for MInnie Riperton on "Every Time He Comes Around"!!!

    S.... F....

    S. Fumbanks Jr. I will check it out.

  50. S.... F....

    Niecy was off the chain! I too wish she would have done an album of Minnie's hits, because she is the only one who could have done it justice. She backed up Minnie many times in the studio, and one of my favorites was "Every Time He Comes Around"- Niecy is killing that background!!

    S.... F....

    S. Fumbanks Jr. Oh yeah that was a great find. Thanks for putting me up on that.

    S.... F....

    S. Fumbanks Jr. she's also on Edge of a dream...🎤🎤🎤

    S.... F....

    S. Fumbanks Jr. I love everytime he comes around!!

    S.... F....

    stop putting artists against each other Minnie is in a class of her own.

  51. E.... B....

    I wouldn't say outsing. Lets not get carried away. Niecy could hit hose notes but never recorded them live.

  52. l.... ....

    Minnie is the ONLY diva that can outsing n outwhistle Denice..that includes Mariah! I always wanted Dee Wms to make a album of remakes of Minnies songs!

  53. R.... R....

    i was like 8 yrs old in the house cleaning sing my entire face off like i had ever been in love lol!

  54. P.... F....

    '...there's no more me, there's no more you.'

  55. J.... O....

    This song hits so close to home ..... wish I could get over this heartache

    J.... O....

    years later as I listen to this song, I'm happy to announce I met an angel of a man that is now my husband.

  56. V.... V....

    this track is mean

  57. K.... U....

    She told it on dis track

  58. K.... K....

    Oh yeah!!!

  59. d.... ....

    Love Deniece Williams so much!!! My favorite album of hers has Silly, Gonna Take a Miracle, Stangers, It's your Conscience, and You're All That Matters To Me. I really think this album is only second to "Songs in the Key of Life" by Stevie Wonder. She is definately my favorite female vocalist of all time, and I Love a lot of female vocalists. Minnie, Cherrelle, Janet, Diana, I love them all, But Deniece? That's my girl! Go watch Unsung!

    d.... ....

    Gonna take a miracle was not on this album.

  60. s.... ....

    Thanks so much for posting this. I played this so much it drove my family crazy.
