the stranger

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 a stranger but we loveTo try them onREPEAT INTRO||:Well we all fall in loveBut we disregard the dangerThough we share so many secrets, there areSome we never tellWhy were you so surprisedThat you never saw the strangerDid you ever let your lover see the strangerin yourselfDon't be afraid to try againEveryone goes southEvery now and thenYou've done it, why can't someone elseYou should know by now,You've been there yourself1st time: Once I used to believe2nd time: You will never understandI was such a great romancerHow the stranger is inspiredThen I came home to a womanBut he isn't always evilThat I could not recognizeAnd he is not always wrongWhen I pressed her for a reasonThough you drown in good intentionsShe refused to give an answerYou will never quench the fireIt was then I felt the stranger kick meYou'll give into your desire when theRight between the eyesStranger comes along
