I Never Talk to Strangers — текст песни (Bette Midler)

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 of

Someone you used to care about.

Oh, but that was long ago.

Now tell me, do you really think

Id 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 guy

Once 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 me

With 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 someone

To 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 love

With perfect strangers.



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

Tom: maybe were just wiser now.

Bette: yeah, n been around the block

So many times

Tom:that we dont notice

Bette&tom: that were all just perfect strangers

As long as we ignore

That we all begin as strangers

Just before we find

We really arent strangers

Anymore.



Bette: "aw, you dont look like such a chump."



Tom: "aw, hey babe."
