Something stupid

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
