I know I stand in line   until you think you have the time   to spend an evening with me      And if we go some place 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   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   and never seemed so right before      I practice everyday   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"      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"...
