I knew you before you knew
Who you wanted to be
Now I see the new you
She´s a perfect stranger to me

Loves unkind, for I find
If only saw, the best of you
But my mind, not so blind
Showed my heart the rest of you
Scheming lies and alibis
That butter wouldn´t melt disguise
With happy ever after eyes
That made a fool of me

I knew you before you knew
Who you wanted to be
Now I see the new you
She´s a perfect stranger to me
She´s a perfect stranger to me

Love is cruel It makes a fool
Of one who thought we had it all
All bridges burned, the lesson learned

You never really loved at all
Now you´re gone, I´m on my own
Don´t come around, don´t even phone
Please leave a happy man alone
And we can both be free

I knew you before you knew
Who you wanted to be
Now I see the new you
She´s a perfect stranger to me
She´s a perfect stranger to me
