The Stranger
Well, we all have a face that we hide away foreverAnd we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has goneSome are satin, some are steel, some are silk, and some are leatherThey're the faces of the stranger, but we love to try them on
Well, we all fall in love, but we disregard the dangerThough we share so many secrets, there are some we never tellWhy were you so surprised that you never saw the strangerDid you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself?
Don't be afraid to try againEveryone goes south every now and thenYou've done it, why can't someone else?You should know by nowYou've been there yourself
Once I used to believe I was such a great romancerThen I came home to a woman that I could not recognizeWhen I pressed her for a reason, she refused to even answerIt was then I felt the stranger kick me right between the eyes
Well, we all fall in love, but we disregard the dangerThough we share so many secrets, there are some we never tellWhy were you so surprised that you never saw the strangerDid you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself?
Don't be afraid to try againEveryone goes south every now and thenYou've done it, why can't someone else?You should know by nowYou've been there yourself
You may never understand how the stranger is inspiredBut he isn't always evil and he isn't always wrongThough you drown in good intentions you will never quench the fireYou'll give in to your desire when the stranger comes along
