I Never Talk To Strangers Anyways
I never talk to strangers anyways.
Stop me if you've heard this one.
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
But that was long ago.
Do you think I'd fall for that?
I wasn't born yesterday!
Besides I never talk to strangers anyways.
I ain't a bad guy when you get to know me,
I just thought, "there ain't no harm",
and you look like someone who likes a good time.
Hey! Try minding your own business
Bud. Who asked you to annoy me
with your sad repartee?
Besides I never talk to strangers anyways.
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,
and you're bitter cause she left you.
That's why you're drinking in this bar
where only suckers fall in love
with perfect strangers.
It always takes one to know one.
Maybe we're just wiser now.
and been around the block so many times
that we don't even notice
that we all begin as strangers.
Besides I never talk to strangers anyways.
