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
|
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 everyday to find some clever lines
|
To say to 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 on the nights so blue...
|
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
|
Something stupid like I love you
|
