Stranger In the House (With Elvis Costello)

This never was one of the great romances

But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes

For now they look in tired and bitter glances

At the ghost of a man walkin' 'round in my disguise

He gets the feeling that he should belong here

But there's no welcome in the window anyway

And he looks down for a number on his keychain

'Cause it feels more like a hotel every day

There's a stranger in the house, nobody's seen his face

Everybody says that he's taken my place

There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see

Everybody says he looks like me

And now you say you've got no expectations

But I know you'll also miss those carefree days

And for all the angry words that passed between them

She still can't understand me when he says

There's a stranger in the house, nobody's seen his face

But everybody says that he's taken my place

There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see

But everybody says he looks like me

He looks like me

Thank you
