The Stranger piano leadsheet with chords
Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever,
And we take them out
And show ourselves
When ev'ryone 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?
Don't be afraid to try again.
Ev'ryone goes south ev'ry now and then.
Ooh. You've done it, why can't someone else?
You should know by now,
you've been there yourself.
Once I used er 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.
Ev'ryone goes south ev'ry now and then.
Ooh. You've done it, why can't someone else?
You should know by now,
you've been there yourself.
You may nev er understand
How the stranger is inspired er,
But he isn't always evil
And he isn't always wrong,
Though you drown in good intentions you will never quench the fire swer,
You'll give in to your desires er When the stranger comes along.
Well we
