(C. Carson Parks)
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 and 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 every day 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 so blue
and then I`d 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 so blue
and then I`d go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid like I love you
I love you, I love you, I do
