I Never Talk to Strangers
Lyrics
"Bartender, I'd like a Manhattan, please." Um, stop me if you've heard this one, but I feel as though we've met before. Perhaps I am mistaken. But it's just that I remind you of someone you used to care about. Oh, but that was long ago. Now tell me, do you really think I'd fall for that old line? I was not born just yesterday. Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway. Hell, I ain't such a bad guy once you get to know me. Just thought there ain't no harm. Hey-e-yeh, just try minding your own business, bud. Who asked you to annoy me with your sad, sad repartee? Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway. Your life's a dime store novel. This town is full of guys like you. And you're looking for someone to take the place of her. You must be reading my mail. 'N' you're bitter 'cause he left you. That's why you're drinkin' in this bar. Well, only suckers fall in love with perfect strangers. It always takes one to know one, stranger. Maybe we're just wiser now. Yeah, 'n' been around the block so many times that we don't notice that we're all just perfect strangers as long as we ignore that we all begin as strangers just before we find we really aren't strangers anymore. "Aw, you don't look like such a chump." "Aw, hey babe."
