You say you love me, you whisper you’re mine
You say your love for me is endless as time
And you tell me that it’s heaven when we’re close like this
But I don’t feel that fire tonight in your kiss

Where’s that magic I felt in your hands?
Now when you touch me, I don’t understand
Cause tonight you’re making love so differently
Am I somebody else when you’re holding me?

Who’s that stranger in your eyes?
Who’s that mysterious man who’s got you hypnotized?
Who’s that stranger in your eyes?
Is there somebody new that I’m losing you to?
Who’s that stranger?

I’ve got this feeling I’ve lost you somehow
Cause there’s something missing when I hold you now
So tell me that I’m crazy, that it’s all in my mind
I want to believe you babe but I’m not blind

Who’s that stranger in your eyes?
Who’s that mysterious man who’s got you hypnotized?
Who’s that stranger in your eyes?
Is there somebody new that I’m losing you to?
Who’s that stranger?

Cause tonight you’re making love so differently
Am I somebody else when you’re holding me?

Who’s that stranger in your eyes?
Who’s that mysterious man who’s got you hypnotized?
Who’s that stranger in your eyes?
Is there somebody new that I’m losing you to?
Who’s that stranger?

Who’s that mysterious man who’s got you hypnotized?
Who’s that stranger in your eyes?
Is there somebody new that I’m losing you to?
Who’s that stranger in your eyes?
Tell me who, who, who
Who’s that stranger in those eyes?
Is there somebody new that I’m losing you to?
Who’s that stranger in your eyes?
