i know i stand in line

untill 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 change

you won't be

leaving with me

then afterwards

we drop into

a quit 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 lines

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 untill the

evening get's late

and i'm alone with you

the time is right

you're parfum fills my head

the stars get red

and oh the night's so blue

and then i go and spoill it all

by saying something stupid

like i love you

i love you

i love you

i love you
