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 lies
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,
To 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 something stupid
Like "I love you" ...

I love you ... I love you
I love you ... I love you
