BILLY JOEL (B. 1949)
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
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
oh 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
oh 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 intentions,
You will never quench the fire
You'll give in to your desire
When the stranger comes along
