Bette Midler - I Never Talk to Strangers Lyrics

Bartender, I'd like a Manhattan, please

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 a bad guy once you get to know me
Just thought there ain't no harm
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
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, an' 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

You don't look like such a chump
Hey babe
