The best of friends, the best of lovers That's what we used to be I just wish we'd ended up the way we started out From one little room where we loved each other To this big two story house We wanted the best I'm afraid that's what we've got now We're the best of strangers (The best of strangers) No one could do it any better We live here separately together We're the best of strangers (The best of strangers) We share a ceiling and a floor But there's no feeling anymore We're the best of strangers We go to bed, we turn out the light We stare at different walls And most of the time we don't even say goodnight I don't touch you, you don't touch me Except passing in the hall And then when we do we both apologize We're the best of strangers (The best of strangers) No one could do it any better We live here separately together We're the best of strangers (The best of strangers) We share a ceiling and a floor But there's no feeling anymore We're the best of strangers We're the best of strangers We're the best of strangers
