I'd 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'll drop
into a quiet little place
and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stu
pid like I love you
I can see it in your eyes that you despise
the simple lies you heard the night before
I know it's just a lie to you,
for me it's true,
it never seemed so right before
I practice every day,
find some clever lines to say,
to make the meaning come true
Then I think I'll wait
until the evening gets late,
and I'm alone with you.
Time is right,
your perfume fills my head,
the stars get red,
and oh, the night's so blue.
Then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid like I love you
And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
like, love you, I love you, I love you
I love you
I love you
I you
You
