Lyrics of
Somethin Stupid

Something Stupid was originally written by C. Carson Parks and was made famous by the recording by Frank Sinatra and his daughter, Nancy Sinatra, in 1967. The song talks about someone ruining a romantic moment by saying something premature, like I love you. The Sinatra recording reached the top of the charts, becoming a beloved classic over the years.

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 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
