The Stranger Lyrics
Artist(Band):Billy Joel
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
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
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.

Review about The Stranger
the stranger minus the whistling intro... | Reviewer: john | 1/10/2008Billy Joel told Hughes Downes back in a 20/20 1980 interview that when he wrote "The Stranger", he had not written the whistling intro. The whistling which is at the begining and end of the song, was a result as Billy sat in the studio recording session. He listened and listened to the chorus and guitar, etc and thought "The Stranger....Hmmm.....something's missing, something's missing..." He thought about an image of a Humphrey Bogart person, wearing a trench coat, walking down a dark street, whistling....get the picture?
Great Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/1/2007
This song is so true, Its something that everyone thinks only they have. We all act differently then we feel...
Only Billy Joel song I like! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/18/2006
I am not a fan of Billy Joel, but when I heard this song on the radio, I liked it immediately, as much as I didn't want to. The lyrics are clever, true, and relatable, and the melody is interesting, and the high falsetto chorus adds a great dimension to the entire song. This is overall a great song, and I don't mean just great for being a Billy Joel song; it stands tall on its own.
