Lyrics

Maybe, she was smiling in the mirror
Maybe, I was too, 'cause I was stoned
Singin' every sad song on the jukebox one more time
Honey, they were hittin' close to home
And, I said, maybe this will make you think I'm crazy
Honey, don't feel lonesome if you do
If you want to make a young man happy one more time
I'd sure like to spend the night with you
And, she said, stranger
Shut off the light and lead me
Somewhere, shut out the shadows, too
And, while we lay there, making believe you love me
Stranger, could I believe in you?
Maybe, you got all you got together
And maybe, you keep rolling like a stone
Maybe, some old lonesome song will take you by surprise
And leave you a little more at home
And, she said, stranger
Shut off the light and lead me
Somewhere, shut out the shadows, too
And, while we lay there, making believe you love me
Stranger, could I believe in you?
And, she said, stranger
Shut off the light and lead me
Somewhere, shut out shadows, too
And while we lay there, making believe...
