Lyrics:

(C.C. Parks)[Recorded Febrary 1, 1967, Hollywood]I know I stand in line until you think you have the timeTo spend an evening with meAnd if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chanceYou won't be leaving with meAnd afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or twoAnd then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like 'I love you'I can see it in your eyesThat you despise the same old lies you heard the night beforeAnd though it's just a line to you, for me it's trueAnd never seemed so right beforeI practice every day to find some clever lines to sayTo make the meaning come throughBut then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late and I'm alone with youThe time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night's so blueAnd 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 blueAnd then I go and spoil it all by sayin' something stupid like 'I love you'I love youI love youI love you[Fade]I love you
