Bette Midler - I Never Talk To Strangers lyrics

Bette: "Bartender, I`d like a Manhattan, please."

Tom: Um, stop me if you`ve heard this one,

but I feel as though we`ve met before.

Perhaps I am mistaken.

Bette: 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.

Tom: Well, hell, I ain`t such a bad guy

once you get to know me.

Just thought there ain`t no harm.

Bette: 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.

Tom: You must be reading my mail.

`N` you`re bitter `cause he left you.

That`s why you`re drinkin` in this bar.

Bette&Tom: Well, only suckers fall in love

with perfect strangers.

Bette: It always takes one to know one, stranger.

Tom: Maybe we`re just wiser now.

Bette: Yeah, `n` been around the block

so many times

Tom:that we don`t notice

Bette&Tom: 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.

Bette: "Aw, you don`t look like such a chump."

Tom: "Aw, hey babe."
