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
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 can see it in your eyes
you still despise The same old lines
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'
I love you
