The Stranger I Love Lyrics - Singles - Kris Kristofferson

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 tryin' 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 learn, 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.
