作词 : Waits
  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
