The Stranger lyrics

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 the stranger

But we 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
ooh ooh

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
oooh ooh

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 isn't
always wrong

Though you drown
in good intentions
you will never
quench the fire

You'll give in
to your desires
when the stranger
comes along
