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 

It never seemed so right before 



I practice every day 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 oh the night's so blue 

And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid 

Like: "I love you" 

("I love you, I love you,...")
