Every day with someone new I fall in love just a little ol' little bit Love with every strangerstranger, the stranger the better And so I fall in love just a little ol' little bit Go take this the wrong way You knew who I was with every step that I ran to you

But I am not a bad man I bet you see a stranger When you look at me When I look in the mirror I know that’s what I see I am not a bad man I want you to know I signed up when I was 19 Now 24 years old

For suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London town, The sun was shining everywhere I was a stranger in the city Out of town were the people I knew I had that feeling of self-pity What to do, what to do, what to do The outlook was decidedly blue

Ruby Lee, I show wish you was here with me Staring at shadows on the wall Wish I knew of someone I could call Someone who might understand it all Someone's lying with me in my bed Some stranger who don't understand my head Wish it was you lying here

It was not two days. a night and a day I look back at the man I was before A sorry stranger banged up on the shore Your warm arms tore the walls down. The devil with the damned things anyway They were of no use, just a frame From there he would watch,

Why I was the one worth leaving Where I am (you seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex) Where I am (a stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting) Where I am (and I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving)
