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 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
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 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
