Mm, mm oh I don't understand You look just like the man In the picture by our bed The suspense is pounding and clouding up my head I'm checking your clothes And you wear the same size shoe You sleep in his spot and you're driving his car But I don't know just who you are There's a stranger in my house It took a while to figure out There's no way you could be who you say you are You got to be someone else 'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that And he wouldn't treat me like you do (you do) He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me So I'm convinced there's a stranger in my house Not sure who you are Don't see your shadow around when you walk You're leaving no kisses Goodbye with no words If these walls could talk They would have nothing to tell So what could it be Is there someone imitating me Could she be taking my place Look me in the face And tell me that I'm wrong when I say There's a stranger in my house It took a while to figure out There's no way you could be who you say you are You got to be someone else 'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that And he wouldn't treat me like you do (you do) He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me So I'm convinced there's a Stranger in my house Pop quiz Tell me where we first kissed Tell me where my spot is Tell me if I like it, love it Or could it be That the stranger is me Have I changed so drastically Is it I want more for me And you remain the same There's a stranger in my house It took a while to figure out (It took a while to figure out) You can't be who you say you are You gotta be someone else 'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that And he wouldn't treat me like you do He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me So I am convinced there's a stranger in my house There's a stranger in my house (woo) It took a while to figure out (It took a while to figure out) You can't be who you say you are You gotta be someone else 'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that And he wouldn't treat me like you do He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me I am convinced there's a stranger in my house Oh, oh Oh yeah
