Oso Roso's first release, "Stranger" is a cover of the song, "I Can't Shake The Stranger Out of You" by Lavender Country, originally released in 1973 on their self-titled debut album - the first known gay-themed album in country music history.

-Lyrics-
I see you steppin' high with your tight blue jeans on
Struttin' like a button-down paragon
And I reckon you're lookin' for some neckin'
Yes, I do
Climb right up into my manger
But let me warn you 'bout one small danger, babe
I can't shake the stranger outta you

I see you prancin' and preenin' as smooth as you can
You're hotter than the popcorn dancin' in the pan
Out to capture a chunk of rapture with someone new
Well I can hit the sack like an aristocrat
If you're lookin' for a trick in a box of Cracker Jacks
But I can't shake the stranger outta you

You're a rompin' bronco, I must admit
Stompin' while your lips are chompin' at the bit
Sure, I'll kiss you, but who's gonna miss you
When you're chasin' midnights through?
Glad to be your one shot pleasure
Even leave you greavin' at your own leisure, babe
But I can't shake the stranger outta you

So you're hot to trot for the next buckaroo
Who's got the right stuff to put a saddle on you
Ride you higher than the fires of desire than you ever knew
All your favorite fantasies will come to an end
You'll be wakin' up tomorrow needin' a friend
'Cause I can't shake the stranger outta you

Stranger

Oso Roso's second release, "Believe" is a cover of the song of the same name originally released by Cher in 1998.

-Lyrics-
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushin' me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talkin' to you

It's so sad that you're leavin'
It takes time to believe it
And after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one

Oh

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel somethin' inside me say,
"I really don't think you're strong enough, no"

What am I supposed to do?
Sit around and wait for you?
Well, I can't do that
And there's no turnin' back

I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you

Oh

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel somethin' inside me say,
"I really don't think you're strong enough, no"

And I know that I'll get through this
And I know that I am strong
And I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
