Lyrics:
I know I 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 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 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 something stupid like "I love you"

{instrumental}

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 sayin' something stupid like "I love you"

I love you
I love you
I love you

FADE
I love you
