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
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all by saying somethin' 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
And 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 somethin' 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 somethin' 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
And 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 somethin' stupid, like, "I love you"
"I love you" "I love you" "I love you"
