Bette Midler - I Never Talk To Strangers Lyrics
Bette: bartender, Id like a manhattan, please.Tom: um, stop me if youve heard this one,But I feel as though weve met before.Perhaps I am mistaken.Bette: but its just that I remind you ofSomeone you used to care about.Oh, but that was long ago.Now tell me, do you really thinkId fall for that old line?I was not born just yesterday.Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway.Tom: well, hell, I aint such a bad guyOnce you get to know me.Just thought there aint no harm.Bette: hey-e-yeh, just try minding your own business, bud.Who asked you to annoy meWith your sad, sad repartee?Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway.Your lifes a dime store novel.This town is full of guys like you.And youre looking for someoneTo take the place of her.Tom: you must be reading my mail.n youre bitter cause he left you.Thats why youre drinkin in this bar.Bette&tom: well, only suckers fall in loveWith perfect strangers.Bette: it always takes one to know one, stranger.Tom: maybe were just wiser now.Bette: yeah, n been around the blockSo many timesTom:that we dont noticeBette&tom: that were all just perfect strangersAs long as we ignoreThat we all begin as strangersJust before we findWe really arent strangersAnymore.Bette: aw, you dont look like such a chump.Tom: aw, hey babe.
