Intro: | EM7 A7 | Em7 A7 | D D6 | DMA7 D6 |

I know I stand in line until you think you have the time to spend an evening with me

And then we go some-place to dance, I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me

Then 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 a-lone 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

Interlude: First 2 lines of verse

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 (fade)
