I Never Talk To Strangers

Bette: "bartender, i'd like a manhattan, please."



Tom: um, stop me if you've heard this one,

But i feel as though we've met before.

Perhaps i am mistaken.

Bette: 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.



Tom: well, hell, i ain't such a bad guy

Once you get to know me.

Just thought there ain't 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 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.



Tom: you must be reading my mail.

'n' you're bitter 'cause he left you.

That's why you're 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 we're just wiser now.

Bette: yeah, 'n' been around the block

So many times

Tom:that we don't notice

Bette&tom: 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.



Bette: "aw, you don't look like such a chump."



Tom: "aw, hey babe."
