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 leavin' 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 sayin'

somethin' stupid

like, I love you

I can see it in your eyes

you still 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 meanin' 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's so blue

And then I go

and spoil it all

by sayin'

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 sayin'

somethin' stupid

like, I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you
