22 BARS INSTRUMENTAL INTRODUCTION
1. 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
2. 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
BR DON�T BE AFRAID TO TRY AGAIN
EVERYONE GOES SOUR
EVERY NOW AND THEN WOO WOO
YOU�VE DONE IT WHY CAN�T SOMEONE ELSE
YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW
YOU�VE BEEN THERE YOURSELF
3. ONCE I USED TO BELIEVE
I WAS SUCH A GREAT ROMANCER
THEN I CAME HOME TO A WOMAN
THAT I DID NOT RECOGNISE
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
4. 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
BR DON�T BE AFRAID TO TRY AGAIN
EVERYONE GOES SOUR
EVERY NOW AND THEN WOO WOO
YOU�VE DONE IT WHY CAN�T SOMEONE ELSE
YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW
YOU�VE BEEN THERE YOURSELF
5. YOU MAY NEVER UNDERSTAND
HOW THE STRANGER IS INSPIRED
BUT HE ISN�T ALWAYS EVIL
AND HE ISN�T 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
