|
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 |
|
then 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 lines |
|
you heard the night before |
|
and though its just a line to you |
|
for me its 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 ill wait until the evening |
|
gets late |
|
and im 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 |
