The Stranger Lyrics
by Billy Joel
#
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 a 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
maj7
Don't be afraid to try again
maj7
Everyone goes southEvery now and then oohhoo
maj7
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
maj7
Don't be afraid to try again
maj7
Everyone goes southEvery now and then oohhoo
maj7
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
Don't give into your desire when the Stranger comes along
