I Never Talk to Strangers (Waits Tom)

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
