There's a story spreading 'round 'bout a stranger in our town
And the people say he's weird as he can be
Big sunglasses, a big black hat, they all say, say who's that
Up till now they still don't know the stranger's me
Oh, I will die if they find out I'm the fool they laughed about
After all the times they warned me she would break my heart and leave
I've been living in disguise hiding from her shameful lies
Up till now they still don't know the stranger's me
--- Instrumental ---
Changed the style of clothes I wear, changed the way I combed my hair
Friends are pointin' finger asking who is he
My ols self ain't been the same since my babe has brought me shame
Up till now they still don't know the stranger's me
Oh, I will die if they'd find out I'm the fool they laughed about
After all the times they warned me she would break my heart and leave
I've been living in disguise hiding from her shameful lies
Up till now they still don't know the stranger's me
Up till now they still don't know the stranger's me...
