Lord, I've got a stranger in my house And I can't tell you just how it feels To see her lying there Stealing all the air I've got It's a lonely love affair It's a lonely love affair Lord, I've got a stranger in my house She's got me on the tips of my toes While the ghosts of my loved ones Surround me and stare It's a lonely love affair It's a lonely love affair And I'd grown to be so high strung But I'm mellowing out now That my little one is here It's staggering Lord, I've got a stranger in my house I finally sense the world at my door As I stand like a watchman With a weapon of care It's a lonely love affair It's a lonely love affair
