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 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
To make the meaning come through

But then I think I'll wait
Until the evening gets late
That 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

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
I love you
I love you
