Lyrics Fine Young Cannibals – Like A Stranger

Listen to reason
It was you who went away
Living together
Was never easy in any case

No, no, no, no, no
You’re like a stranger
So many ways you haven’t changed
No, no, no, no, no
I feel in danger
When will you be the same again?

You’ve been too long in the institution
You’ve been too long in the institution
You’ve been too long in the institution
You’ve been too long in the institution

I wrote letters, oh my
I didn’t get no reply
That got me thinking
You must be seeing some other guy

So high, I couldn’t get over
Too wide, I couldn’t get around
So low, I couldn’t get under
So I just sit and wonder

No, no, no, no, no
You’re like a stranger
So many ways you haven’t changed
No, no, no, no, no

You’ve been too long in the institution
You’ve been too long in the institution
You’ve been too long in the institution
You’ve been too long in the institution

It’s too high, it’s too wide, I don’t know
My left from my left side
Where did I go wrong?
Oh god, what have I done?
