Billy Joel Lyrics for Song: The Stranger
 Lyrics for Album: Movin' Out [Original Cast Recording] [2002]
 
 
 
 31168>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
