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"
