Answer me this babe
With so many saviours around
Offering handfuls of paths for you
How many are angels when you're down?
Don't get me wrong babe
'Cause I'm not trying to shoot your sincerity down
But maybe some truth in what your'e saying here
There's just not enough of it around

There's a hand-me-down that just don't fit quite right
There's a smiling face that just don't seem like you thought it might
Like you thought might
It's a strangers way

We do what we must
To put disappointment aside
And just when I thought I'd finally found the place baby
I'm covered in dust and hitching a ride
So won't you give a hand here?
'Cause my energy's down and my spirit is caught
On the hook that leads to second thoughts
About the friends that we want and the ones that we've got

There's a hand-me-down that just don't fit quite right
There's a smiling face that just don't seem like you thought it might
Like you thought might
It's a strangers way
