 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 lines
 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  gets late
 And I'm alone  with you
 The time  is right your perfume  fills my head  the stars get red
 and on the nights  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 on the nights  so blue
 And then  I go and spoil  it all by saying  something stupid
 like I love  you
 I love  you
 I love  you
