I know I stand in line
Until you think
You have the time
To spend an evening with meAnd if we go
Someplace to dance
I know that
There's a chance
You won't be
Leaving with meThen afterwards
We drop into
A quiet little place
And have a drink or twoAnd then I go
And spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love youI can see it in your eyes
That you despise
The same old lines
You heard the night beforeAnd though it's
Just a line to you
For me it's true
And never seemed
So right beforeI practice every day
To find some
Clever lines to say
To make the meaning
Come trueBut then I think
I'll wait until the
Evening gets late
And I'm alone with youThe time is right
Your perfume
Fills my head
The stars get red
And oh, the night's so blueAnd then I go
And spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I love you
