Lyrics:

(Verse)
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.
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 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.
And 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\'.

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\'.
I love you,
I love you,
I love you,
I love you.
