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
|
