Stranger Nine to Five

Jean Shepard · I'll Take the Dog (w/Ray Pillow) [1966]

(Charlie Williams - Scott Turner - Chris Roberts)



Well, there she goes again and the hurt begins

But I must pretend I don't know she's alive

There he stands so close we can touch almost

But we must act like strangers nine to five.



The ones who work here every day

Musn't know we feel this way

So we must hide our feelings for a while

But when each endless day is through

I'll try to make it up to you

For acting like a stranger nine to five.



It's all that I can do to keep from kissing you

When I see you say I love you with your eyes

Just one tender touch would show I care too much

So we must act like strangers nine to five.



But when each endless day is through

I'll try to make it up to you

For acting like a stranger nine to five...
