The Stranger lyrics

Artist  : Billy Joel 
Song : The Stranger



 Send "The Stranger" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

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'd 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.
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.
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 intensions,
You will never
quench the fire.
You'll give in to your desire
when the stranger comes along.
