Quick Answer — Stranger in the House Lyrics

This never was one of the great romances But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes But now they look in tired and bitter glances At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise

Stranger in the House Full Lyrics

This never was one of the great romances But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes But now they look in tired and bitter glances At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise I get the feeling that I don't belong here But there's no welcome in the window anyway And I look down for a number on my keychain 'Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face But everybody says he's taken my place There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see But everybody says he looks like me And now you say you've got no expectations But I know you also miss those carefree days And for all the angry words that passed between us You still don't understand me when I say There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face But everybody says he's taken my place There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see But everybody says he looks like me
