[ Tom Waits ]

|
|
Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
|
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
|
Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see,
|
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
|
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
|
|
Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
|
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
|
Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it,
|
Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it,
|
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.
|
|
Well the night does funny things inside a man
|
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,
|
Well I turn around and look at you, you light a cigarette,
|
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met,
|
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
|
|
I can see that you are lonesome just like me, and it being late,
|
You'd like some some company,
|
Well I turn around and look at you, and you look back at me,
|
The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you's free,
|
|
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.
|
|
Now it's closing time and the music's fading out
|
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
|
Well I turn around to look for you, you're nowhere to be found,
|
I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
|
|
And I think that I just fell in love with you.
