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       CHORUS    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       REPEAT CHORUS       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
