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 [bad word] And never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever
lines to say
To make the [bad word] 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...
