You Could Know As Much About A Stranger

(album: Dynamic Duo - 1977)

Our bodies lay here side by side but our thoughts have turned the other way
We make conversation of two people who have nothing left to say
We're so accustomed to each other we no longer care or bother
And there lies the danger
You know the size of clothes I wear and you know how I comb my hair
But you could know as much about a stranger

I can't remember the last time that I really wanted you
And we both say there's nothing wrong but it's here in everything we do
So we get up from our beds leaving many things unsaid
And there lies the danger
Many of my words you don't hear and you seldom notice if I'm near
But you could know as much about a stranger

What went wrong I can't name it find the fault I can't blame it
On any one thing
We're so used to things this way tomorrow's just like yesterday
And there lies the danger
You know the color of my eyes and you know the things I despise
But you could know as much about a stranger
