Billy Joel - The Stranger Lyrics
Well we all have a faceThat we hide away foreverAnd we take them out and show ourselvesWhen everyone has goneSome are satin some are steelSome are silk and some are leatherThey're the faces of the strangerBut we love to try them on.Well we all fall in loveBut we disregard the dangerThough we share so many secretsThere are some we never tellWhy were you so surprisedThat you never saw the strangerDid you ever let your lover seeThe stranger in yourself?Don't be afraid to try againEveryone goes southEvery now and thenYou've done it, why can't someone else?You should know by nowYou've been there yourself.Once I used to believeI was such a great romancerThen I came home to a womanThat I could not recogniseWhen I pressed her for a reasonShe refused to even answerIt was then I felt the strangerKick me right between the eyes.Well we all fall in loveBut we disregard the dangerThough we share so many secretsThere are some we never tellWhy were you so surprisedThat you never saw the strangerDid you ever let your lover seeThe stranger in yourself?Don't be afraid to try againEveryone goes southEvery now and thenYou've done it, why can't someone else?You should know by nowYou've been there yourselfYou may never understandHow the stranger is inspiredBut he isn't always evilAnd he isn't always wrongThough you drown in good intentionsYou will never quench the fireYou'll give in to your desireWhen the stranger comes along.
