I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we find a 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
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 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 all the nights 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 all the nights so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid like "I love you"

I love you (7 times)
