  (bartender, i’d like a manhattan please)
  
  stop me if you’ve heard this one
  but 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
  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
  
  hell, i ain’t a bad guy when you get to know me
  i just thought there ain’t no harm
  hey, yeah, 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 dimestore novel
  this town is full of guys like you
  and you’re looking for someone to take the place of her
  you must be reading my mail
  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
  yeah, and been around that 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
  
  [aw, you don’t look like such a chump]
  [aw, hey baby]

• foreign affairs albümünden harika bir bette midler-tom waits düeti..tom, albümün içine
  "bette, you're absolutely colossal" seklinde bir dipnot düsmüstür. ki midler da
  gerçekten colossal'dir bu sarkida...

• "i was not born just yesterday
  besides i never talk to strangers anyway" kismiyla küçük kizlara hatirlatma yapan tom waits parçasi.
• nedense waits külliyatının 70lere denk gelen kısmını daha çok beğenirim. bu şarkı ise ilk 3 tedir.
