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
