I know I stand in line
until you think you have the time
to spend an evenin' 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 something stupid like "I love you"
I 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 felt so right before.
I practice every day
to find some clever lines
to say to make the meaning come true,
But then I think I'll wait
until the evenin' 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 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 so blue.
And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid like "I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
