The best of friends
The best of lovers
That's what we used to be
I just wish we'd ended up
The way we started out
From one little room
Where we loved each other
To this big two story house
We wanted the best
I'm afraid that's what we've got now
[CHORUS]
We're the best of strangers
(The best of strangers)
No one could do it any better
We live here separately together
We're the best of strangers
(The best of strangers)
We share a ceiling and a floor
But there's no feeling anymore
We're the best of strangers
We go to bed
We turn out the light
We stare at different walls
And most of the time
We don't even say goodnight
I don't touch you
You don't touch me
Except passing in the hall
And then when we do
We both apologize
[repeat CHORUS]
We're the best of strangers
We're the best of strangers
The best of lovers
That's what we used to be
I just wish we'd ended up
The way we started out
From one little room
Where we loved each other
To this big two story house
We wanted the best
I'm afraid that's what we've got now
[CHORUS]
We're the best of strangers
(The best of strangers)
No one could do it any better
We live here separately together
We're the best of strangers
(The best of strangers)
We share a ceiling and a floor
But there's no feeling anymore
We're the best of strangers
We go to bed
We turn out the light
We stare at different walls
And most of the time
We don't even say goodnight
I don't touch you
You don't touch me
Except passing in the hall
And then when we do
We both apologize
[repeat CHORUS]
We're the best of strangers
We're the best of strangers
