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 sayin'
something stupid like "I love you"
I love you
I love you
I love you
