Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display
your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear
you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
Well, the room is crowded, there's people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well, if you sit down with this old clown,
I ll take that frown and break it,
Before the evening's gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
and it being late, you'd like some company,
Well I've had two, I look at you,
and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split,
the chair next to you is free,
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
Now the night does funny things inside a man
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand
I turn around and look at you, you light a cigarette
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks I'll have another stout
I turn around and look at you, you're nowhere to be found
I search the place for your lost face, I guess I'll have another round
and I think that I just fell in love with you
