I know I stand in line

Until you think you

Have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we go some

Place to dance

I know that there's a chance

You won't be leaving with me

Then afterwards we drop

Into a quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying somethin' stupid like,

"I love you"

I can see it in your eyes

That you despise

The same old lies

You heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you

For me it's true

And never seemed

So right before

I practice every day

To find some clever

Lines to say

To make the meaning

Come through

But then I think I'll wait

Until the evening gets late

And I'm alone with you

The time is right,

Your perfume fills my head

The stars get red, and,

Oh, the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying somethin' stupid like,

"I love you"

The time is right,

Your perfume fills my head

The stars get red, and, oh,

The night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying somethin' stupid like,

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"
