I've been a simple man and I've been insane And I've been a vagabond and I've been a king, yeah But I've been a better man just trying to please The stranger I love Lost in a wilderness darker than pain Drawn to her loneliness, just like a flame The closer we come, the more that I lean The stranger I love Bad as I loved her, I ain't afraid We'll be together some lovin' way I'll be her lover just as long as I can Then when it's over, she'll need a friend So I'll take her hand-me-downs, I'll take the blame I'll be a hang around, I ain't ashamed 'Cause the longer I love her, the more I believe The stranger I love
