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 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 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'
