Tom Waits - I Never Talk To Strangers

Foreign Affairs
(1977)
I Never Talk To Strangers
Tom Waits

stop me if you've heard this one
of someone you used to care about
perhaps i'm mistaken
but it's just that i remind you
i feel as though we've met before
do you think i'd fall for that
but that was long ago
i wasn't born yesterday
besides i never talk to strangers anyway
i ain't a bad guy when you get to know me

hey just try minding your own business
i just thought there ain't no harm
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 bitter cause he left you
that's why you're drinkin in this bar
and you're looking for someone to take the place of her
well only suckers fall in love

with perfect strangers
maybe we're just wiser now
it always takes one to know one stranger
that we don't notice
and been around the block so many times
that we're all just perfect strangers
as long as we ignore
that we all begin as strangers
we really aren't strangers anymore just before we find
