Well we all have a face
That we hide a-way for-ev-er
And we take them out and show our-selves
When ev-ry-one has gone
Some are sat-in some are steel
Some are silk and some are leath-er
They're the fac-es of a stran-ger
But we love to try them on
CHORUS
Well, we all fall in love
But we dis-re-gard the dan-ger
Though we share so man-y se-crets
There are some we nev-er tell
Why were you so sur-prised
That you nev-er saw the strang-er
Did you ev-er let your lov-er see
The stran-ger in your-self
Don't be af-raid to try a-gain
Ev-ry-one goes south ev-ry now and then
You've done it, why can't some-one else
You should know by now
You've been there your-self
VERSE 3
Once I used to be-lieve
I was such a great ro-man-cer
Then I came home to a wom-an
That I could not rec-og-nize
When I pressed her for a rea-son
She re-fused to ev-en an-swer
It was then I felt the strang-er
Kick me right bet-ween the eyes
