And (Gm7)if we go some (C7)place to dance, I (Gm7)know that there’s a (C7)chance you won’t be (Fmaj7)leav in’ with me.

Then (F7)af ter wards we (Cm7)drop in to a (F7)qui et lit tle place and have a (Bb6)drink night or is so two.

And then (C7)I go and spoil it all by (Gm7)say in’ some thin’ (C7)stu pid, like “I (C7)love (F)you.”

I can (F7)see it in your (Cm7)eyes that you des (F7)pise the same old lines you heard the (Bb)night be fore.

And (F7)though it’s just a (Dm7)line to you, for (F7)me it’s true and nev er seemed so (C7)right be fore.

I love (F)you.”
