I know I stand in line until you think you
have the time to spend an evening with me
And if we go some place to dance I know that
there's a chance you won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we'll drop into a quiet
little place and have a drink or two
And then I'll 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, it never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines
to say that make the meaning come true
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 all the nights so blue
And then I'll go and spoil it all by saying something stu
pid like I love you
The time that's right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
All the night sober
Then I go and spot it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you I
love you
I love you I love you
You
