Gene Watson - You Could Know as Much About a Stranger lyrics

rate me

(Nadine Bryant)

Our bodies lay here side by side

But our thoughts have turned the other way

We make the conversation of two people

Who have nothing left to say

We're so accustomed to each other

We no longer care or bother

And there lies the danger

You know the size of clothes I wear

And you know how I comb my hair

But you could know as much about a stranger.

I can't remember the last time

That I really wanted you

And we both say nothing's wrong

But it's here in everything we do

So we get up from our beds

Leaving many things unsaid

And there lies the danger

Many of my words you don't hear

You seldom notice if I'm near

You could know as much about a stranger.

What went wrong, I can't name it

Find the fault, I can't blame it

On any one thing

We're so used to things this way

Tomorrow's just like yesterday

And there lies the danger

You know the colour of my eyes

You know the things I despise

But you could know as much about a stranger.

Yes, you could know as much about a stranger...
