This never was one of the great romances

But I thought you always had those young girl's eyes

But now they look in tired and bitter glances

At the ghost of the man who walks 'round in my disguise



I get the feelin' that I don't belong here

But there's no welcome in the window anyway

And I look down for a number on my key chain

'Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday



Chorus:

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 got no expectations

But I know you also miss those carefree days

And for all the angry words that pass between us

You still don't understand me when I say



-chorus-



But everybody says he looks like me
