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, people everywhere 

And I wonder, should I offer you a chair? 

Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it, 

Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it, 

And I hope that you don't fall in love with me. 



Well the night does funny things inside a man 

These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand, 

Well 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. 



I can see that you are lonesome just like me, and it being late, 

You'd like some some company, 

Well I turn around and look at you, and you look back at me, 

The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you's free, 



And I hope that you don't fall in love with me. 



Now it's closing time and the music's fading out 

Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout. 

Well I turn around to look for you, you're nowhere to be found, 

I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round 



And I think that I just fell in love with you.
