Lyrics
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 feelin' 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
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
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 pass between them
She still can't understand 'em 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, Elvis)
