I know I stand in line

Until you think you have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we find a place 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

You still despise

The same old lines you heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you

For me it's true

It never seemed so right before



I practice every day

To find some clever lines to say

To make the meaning come true

And 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 all 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 all the nights so blue

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid like "I love you"



I love you (7 times)
