Stranger In The House Lyrics - Unfaithful Music - Elvis Costello

This never was one of the great romances 

But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes 

But now they look in tired and bitter glances 

At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise 

I get the feeling that I don't belong here 

But there's no welcome in the window anyway 

And I look down for a number on my keychain 

'Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday 

There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face 

But everybody says he's taken my place 

There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see 

But everybody says he looks like me 

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 us 

You still don't understand me when I say
