KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - The Stranger I Love lyrics

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...
