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 to have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying somethin' 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,
To me it’s true
And never felt so right before
I will practice every day
To find some clever words to say
To say to make the meaning come true
And 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”
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,
To me it’s true and never felt so right before
I will practice every day
To find some clever words to say
To say to make the meaning come true
And 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”
I love you
I love you
I love you
