Standing on the corner, got myself in hand 
Waiting for ?them come? over me, cool ?...?
Smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day 
Smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day 

Standing at the airport with the smile of a saviour 
Selling off a piece of my favour, a favour 
Smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day 
I'm a smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day 

Take good care of yourself and don't you worry so 
Love is coming for us as soon as we think it will 
Love is hard, yes I know, but it's harder still 
Loving a smiling stranger 

Standing at the welfare with a pay-off in my hand 
Waiting for the gimme from the much-oblige man 
Smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day 
I'm a smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day
