Stranger In The House Lyrics - George Jones

(Pat McManus) 

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, nobody'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 passed between them 

She still can't understand him when he says.

There's a stranger in the house, nobody'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...
