I Never Talk To Strangers — текст песни (Tom Waits)

stop me if you`ve heard this one
i feel as though we`ve met before
perhaps i`m mistaken
but it`s just that i remind you
of someone you used to care about
but that was long ago
do you think i`d fall for that
i wasn`t born yesterday
besides i never talk to strangers anyway
i ain`t a bad guy when you get to know me
i just thought there ain`t no harm
hey just try minding your own business
bud who asked you to annoy me
with your sad repartee
besides i never talk to strangers anyway

your life`s a dimestore novel
this town is full of guys like you
and you`re looking for someone to take the place of her
and 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
and 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
