Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So many times there was a man, he met a girl and took her hand
He told her,"Never will I leave you my love"
But just as soon as he gone again
She's flapping in the wind
Wondering what she must have been thinking of
[Verse 2]
She said, "Darling
I've been in and out so many doors
And I've always tried to keep my head
With all the men I've known before
I've seen plenty places
That I'll never see again
I've seen 100,000 faces
And only called a few my friend"
[Verse 3]
But it's a mystery
Just how you came right in
And stole my heart away
And left me there again
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
To my happiness, ooh yeah, ooh-ah-oh oh
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
[Verse 4]
Now if you think that it's a thing that only evil men can bring
Let me skin this cat another way
There was a man who had a plan to settle down with Mary Ann
But she left him on his wedding day
[Verse 5]
He said, "Darling
I've been in and out so many doors
I've always tried to keep my head
With all the girls I've known before
I've seen plenty places
That I'll never see again
I've seen 100,000 faces
And only called a few my friend"
[Verse 6]
But it's a mystery
Just how you came right in
And stole my heart away
And left me there again
I'm feeling
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
I feel like a stranger to my happiness
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
Feeling like a stranger, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 7]
I'm feeling (Feeling)
I'm feeling (Feeling)
I'm feeling (Feeling)
Feeling
[Verse 8]
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
Oh, I said I feel like a stranger
I feel like a stranger
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
To my happiness, oh yeah
To my happiness
[Verse 9]
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
Mm, I said I've seen pretty faces
And I've been to a lot of places
Whoa, that I still feel, hey
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
I'm feeling, yeah I said I'm feeling
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
Feeling like, feeling like a stranger
To my happiness, hey, I feel
Ooh yeah, hey yeah
(Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
