I know I stand in line Until you think you have the time To spend an evening with me

And if 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 somethin' stupid like, "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes You still 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 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 somethin' 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 somethin' stupid like, "I love you"

"I love you"
