Perry, Steve - Strung Out Lyrics






One very happy warm summer night
I saw your face, what could I do
So carefully I walked straight up to you

And in the shadow of a moonlit night
I saw those eyes a-shinin' through
Heart of gold I love you, misty blue

Whoa, it's hard to love somebody
Especially when they don't belong to you
'Cause they're loving someone else
Strung out and hung up on you

I feel like Bogart in a crazy movie
Bogie and me, we never beg
But this time maybe I've got voices in my head

They're sayin' that he's never been good to you
And he's always hurt and let you down
If what you need is good lovin', I'll be around

It's hard to love somebody
Especially when they don't belong to you
'Cause they're loving someone else
Strung out and hung up on you
Strung out
Strung out

Well, it's hard to love somebody
Especially when they don't belong to you
'Cause they're loving someone else
Strung out and hung up on you

It's hard to love somebody
Oh, when they don't belong to you
'Cause they're loving someone else,
Strung out and hung up on you
Strung out and hung up on you
Yeah, strung out

    Considering when this video was made; I'm wondering if that guy in the suit with a beard is the Dos XX beer guy from the most interesting man commercials?

  55. V.... H....

    Steve has so much charisma. Would have been great in the movies.

  56. A.... G....

    This is one of his best rock songs that he belts so strong n efficient

  61. L.... W....

    Just drooling LOVE YOU STEVE PERRY =)

  62. W.... S....

    THIS SONG was Steve’s best solo song! It SHOULD have been a Journey song, however, I really loved the fact he branched out on his own. Neil did NOT like the fact that this album did so well commercially. Oh well, great times! (Plus Bill Murray ROCKS that bass!!) 🥴

    W.... S....

    Woody Schuler no, thank god it’s his solo song. Journey squeezed enough $$$ out of him.

  63. T.... W....

    3:09 wow!

  64. S.... B....

    I have never stopped listening to Journey. Looking forward to all of your music. Welcome back Steve! Steve Perry Rocks!!!!💞

  65. L.... B....

    Love foi Steve Perry... marry me❤

  66. B.... C....

    Steve was STRUNG OUT from Journey and had 2 go solo!

  67. V.... M....

    That sure looks like like Paul Dean from Loverboy on the guitar.

  68. V.... A....

    Love Steve Perry

  69. D.... F....

    I’ve got a Question, who is Shelia she’s in a couple of Steve’s videos as his manager, I’ve often wondered or is an Actress. Which ever I think she’s a scream, she plays the part so well.Anyone out there who can enlighten me.🎼♥️🇦🇺💋🇺🇸💃🕺🏻🎆🌹

  70. N.... H....

    Thanks for the info. I did watch the documentary that you spoke of. It was very good and put many of the questions people had about what happened. It did put to rest many of the issues people had about that situation.
    For many, myself included, there was an undertone of bad feelings, misunderstandings and other things. I think the whole thing made many fans of Journey, a bit sad and confused.
    Thanks for the information.

  86. m.... b....
