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 still despise the same old lines

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

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 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"

"I love you"
