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 
Then 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 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" 
I love you
