Lyrics

I know I stand in line un til you think you have the time to spend an eve ning with me.

And if we go some place to dance, I know that there’s a chance you won’t be leav ing with me.

Then af ter wards, we drop in to a qui et lit tle place and have a drink or two.

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

I can see it in your eyes that you des pise the same old lies you heard the night be fore,

and though it’s just a line to you, for me it’s true and nev er seemed so right be fore.

I prac tise ev ’ry day to find some clev er lines to say to make the mean ing come through.

And then I think I’ll wait un til the eve ning gets late and I’m a lone with you.

The time is right, your per fume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night’s so blue.

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

prac tise ev ’ry day to find some clev er lines to say to make the mean ing come through.

And then I think I’ll wait un til the eve ning gets late and I’m a lone with you.

The time is right, your per fume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night’s so blue.

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

love you.”

“I love you.”

“I
