TOM WAITSWell, |
|
I hope that |
|
I don't fall in love with you.' |
|
Cause falling in love just makes me blue. |
|
When the music plays and you display your heart for me to see. |
|
I had a beer and now |
|
I hear you calling out for me. |
|
And, I hope that |
|
I don't fall in love with you. |
|
Well, the room is crowded, people everywhere. |
|
And I wonder should |
|
I offer you a chair. |
|
Well, if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it. |
|
Before the evening's gone away, |
|
I think that we could make it. |
|
And, I hope that |
|
I don't fall in love with you. |
|
Well, the night does funny things inside a man. |
|
This old tom-cat feelings you don't understand. |
|
Well, I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette. |
|
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met. |
|
And I hope that |
|
I don't fall in love with you. |
|
I can see that you are lonesome, just like me. |
|
And it being late, you'd like some company. |
|
Well, I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me. |
|
The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you is free. |
|
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me. |
|
It's closing time, the music's fading out. |
|
Last call for drinks, |
|
I'll have another stout. |
|
Well, I turn around to look at you, you're nowwhere to be found. |
|
I search the place for your lost face, guess |
|
I'll have another round. |
|
And I think that |
|
I just fell in love with you. |
