stranger in the house (with elvis costello) - george jones lyrics
(pat mcm-n-s)
george jones & 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 key-chain
’cause it feels more like a hotel everyday.
there’s a stranger in the house, n-body’s seen his face
everybody says he’s takin’ my place
there’s a stranger in the house no one will ever see
everybody says he looks like me.
— instrumental —
and now you say you’ve got no expectations
but i know you also miss those carefree days
and for all the angry words that p-ssed between them
she still can’t understand him when he says.
there’s a stranger in the house, n-body’s seen his face
but everybody says he’s takin’ 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…
