1. I know I stand in line until you think you have the time

2. I practice every day to find some clever lines to say

To spend an evening with me

To make the meaning come true

And if we go some - place to dance I know that there's a chance

But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late

You won't be leaving with me

And I'm a - lone with you

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red

And have a drink or two

And, oh, the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you."

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you."

BRIDGE:

I can see it in your eyes that you des - pise 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
