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 still despise the same old lines
You heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true
It never seemed so right before

I practice everyday
To find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come true

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"

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 love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
