I Never Talk To Strangers Lyrics - Broken Blossom - Bette Midler

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 when you get to know me 

I just thought there ain't no harm 

Hey, yeah, 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 

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 

Yeah, and been around that 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 baby)
