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 |
|
That you 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... |
