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 theres a chance
You wont 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 its just a line
to you for me its true
It 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 Ill 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 nights 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 nights 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
