"If You're Thinking You Want a Stranger (There's One Coming Home)" is the title of a song recorded by country music artist George Strait. It was released in January 1982 as the third and final single from his 1981 debut album Strait Country. It peaked at number 3 in the United States, while it was a number 2 in Canada.
Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B- grade, saying that if Strait's voice wasn't so "distinctive and familiar, you could be forgiven for mistaking this for Johnny Lee’s, "Lookin' for Love."[1]
