Standing at the airport with the smile of a saviour,
Selling off a piece of my favourite flavour.
Smiling stranger,
Smiling stranger every day;
I'm a smiling stranger,
Smiling stranger every day.

Take good care of yourself and don't you worry so.
Love is coming for us all as soon as we think it will.
Life is hard yes I know, but it's harder still,
Loving a smiling stranger.

Standing at the welfare with the payoff in my hand;
Waiting for the 'gimme' from the much-obliged-man.
Smiling stranger,
Smiling stranger every day;
I'm a smiling stranger,
Smiling stranger every day.
