I know I`d 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`d drop into a quiet little place to have a drink or two
And then I`d 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 everyday to find some clever lines to say to make the meaning come true
But then I think I`ll wait until the evening`s gettin` late and I`m alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head
The stars get red and all the night`s so blue
And then I`d go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like I love you

The time is right...
And when I`d go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like I love you
