Bette Midler ~ I Never Talk To Strangers


Bette: "bartender, i'd like a manhattan, please." Tom: um, stop me if you've heard this one, But i feel as though we've met before. Perhaps i am mistaken. Bette: 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. Tom: well, hell, i ain't such a bad guy Once you get to know me. Just thought there ain't no harm. Bette: hey-e-yeh, 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 dime store novel. This town is full of guys like you. And you're looking for someone To take the place of her. Tom: you must be reading my mail. 'n' you're bitter 'cause he left you. That's why you're drinkin' in this bar. Bette&tom: well, only suckers fall in love With perfect strangers. Bette: it always takes one to know one, stranger. Tom: maybe we're just wiser now. Bette: yeah, 'n' been around the block So many times Tom:that we don't notice Bette&tom: 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. Bette: "aw, you don't look like such a chump." Tom: "aw, hey babe." more free lyrics

Bette: "bartender, i'd like a manhattan, please."

Tom: um, stop me if you've heard this one,
But i feel as though we've met before.
Perhaps i am mistaken.
Bette: 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.

Tom: well, hell, i ain't such a bad guy
Once you get to know me.
Just thought there ain't no harm.
Bette: hey-e-yeh, 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 dime store novel.
This town is full of guys like you.
And you're looking for someone
To take the place of her.

Tom: you must be reading my mail.
'n' you're bitter 'cause he left you.
That's why you're drinkin' in this bar.
Bette&tom: well, only suckers fall in love
With perfect strangers.

Bette: it always takes one to know one, stranger.
Tom: maybe we're just wiser now.
Bette: yeah, 'n' been around the block
So many times
Tom:that we don't notice
Bette&tom: 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.

Bette: "aw, you don't look like such a chump."

Tom: "aw, hey babe."

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
