The conversation seems to stop as soon as we walk in
And everybody calls to you and asks you where you've been
I fade into the background of an old familiar show

As I become a perfect stranger everywhere we go
Everywhere we go you seem to find some new old friend
And it's not long before I'm on the outside looking in
To other eyes I'm just a guy that no one seems to know
And I remain a perfect stranger everywhere we go
[ steel ]
I step aside for some old friend watch you while you dance
And I can see a million mem'ries in each stolen glance
They're all reminders from a past that I won't ever know
Cause I remain a perfect stranger everywhere we go
Everywhere we go you seem to find some new old friend
And it's not long before I'm on the outside looking in
I know that I could lose you if I let my feelings show
So I'll remain a perfect stranger everywhere we go
