This song describes someone who instantly falls in love with a stranger even though they will probably end up being their downfall, or the devil as the lyrics refer. This reflects the setting when Medea fell in love with Jason. She immediately fell for him without even knowing him. So she took a chance on him and risked everything for him even though he ended up making her “pay in tears” and more.

Haven’t we met
You’re some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I’ve had the taste for danger
If I’m smart then I’ll run away
But I’m not so I guess I’ll stay
Heaven forbid
I’ll take my chance on a beautiful stranger
I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You’re the devil in disguise
That’s why I’m singing this song
To know you is to love you
You’re everywhere I go
And everybody knows
To love you is to be part of you
I’ve paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride
Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger
Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger
If I’m smart then I’ll run away
But I’m not so I guess I’ll stay
Haven’t you heard
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
I looked into your face
My heart was dancing all over the place
I’d like to change my point of view
If I could just forget about you
I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You’re the devil in disguise
That’s why I’m singing this song to you
I’ve paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride
