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 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, ooh-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 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
 Ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh
