Heel Of A Stranger

(album: Mechanix - 1982)

Was 17 and I thought you were one in a million
I never dreamed anyone would ever take you away
And at 21 tied the knot with a holy union
But I never thought I'd live to regret that day

You put a scar on my heart, I can't cover up and hide
I'm on the ropes in the corner with no fighter left inside
Under the heel of a stranger, he holds you captive by his charms
I saw the signs but not the danger now he's the hero in your arms

Every night you go out, tell me it's with a friend
You come back late, know you've seen him again
And at 29 I realize the dreaming has to end
Although I've lost your love, still the ghost remains

You put a scar on my heart I can't cover up and hide
I'm on the ropes in the corner with no fighter left inside
Under the heel of a stranger he holds you captive by his charms
I saw the signs but not the danger now he's the hero in your arms

Oh yeah
Under the heel of a stranger he holds you captive by his charms
I saw the signs but not the danger now he's the hero in your arms
Under the heel of a stranger he holds you captive by his charms
I saw the signs but not the danger now he's the hero in your arms
Under the heel of a stranger he holds you captive by his charms
I saw the signs but not the danger
