Familiar Stranger
You know him
This man you never met
You know him
You've seen that walk before,
the cool, confident stride
You've seen that smile before,
perfect white teeth
with a grin a mile wide
You know him
This man you never met
You know him
You've heard that voice before,
the ultra-cool smooth cadence
You've seen those clothes before,
gator shoes, leather pants
and a silk shirt diamond laden
Oh, you know him,
you know him for sure
This man you never met
has you checking your memory once more
You've witnessed this entrance before,
fur coat draped over a chiseled arm
You saw this kind of heads turning before,
maitre d' running like he heard a fire alarm
Yes, you know him
This man you never met
What you don't understand
is how you could ever forget
