I know I stand in line until you
think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance,
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards
we drop into a quiet little place
and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all by
saying something 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 something 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 something stupid like I love you
I love you
I love you ... (fade)
