The Stranger |
| Well, we all have a face |
| That we hide away forever |
| And we take them out and show ourselves |
| When everyone has gone |
| Some are satin, some are steel |
| Some are silk and some are leather |
| They’re the faces of a stranger |
| But we’d love to try them on |
| Well, we all fall in love |
| But we disregard the danger |
| Though we share so many secrets |
| There are some we never tell |
| Why were you so surprised |
| That you never saw the stranger? |
| Did you ever let your lover |
| See the stranger in yourself? |
| Don’t be afraid to try again |
| Everyone goes south every now and then |
| You’ve done it |
| Why can’t someone else? |
| You should know by now |
| You’ve been there yourself |
| Once I used to believe |
| I was such a great romancer |
| Then I came home to a woman |
| That I could not recognize |
| When I pressed her for a reason |
| She refused to even answer |
| It was then I felt the stranger |
| Kick me right between the eyes |
| Well, we all fall in love |
| But we disregard the danger |
| Though we share so many secrets |
| There are some we never tell |
| Why were you so surprised |
| That you never saw the stranger? |
| Did you ever let your lover |
| See the stranger in yourself? |
| Don’t be afraid to try again |
| Everyone goes south every now and then |
| You’ve done it |
| Why can’t someone else? |
| You should know by now |
| You’ve been there yourself |
| You may never understand |
| How the stranger is inspired |
| But he isn’t always evil |
| And he is not always wrong |
| Though you drown in good intentions |
| You will never quench the fire |
| You’ll give in to your desire |
| When the stranger comes along |
| Ooo ooo |
| Ooh ooh |
