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

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
