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
To 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 everyday to find some clever lines
To say, to make the meaning come true
But then I think I'll wait until
The evening's gettin' late and I'm alone with you.
The time is right, your perfume fills my head
The stars get red and all the night's 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 all the night's so blue
And then I'd go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid like I love you.
And when I'd go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid like I love you...
