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 theres a chance

You wont 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 despise the same old lies

You heard the night before

And though its just a line to you, for me its true

It 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 ill 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 nights so blue

And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid

Like I love you

(I love you, I love you...)
