Something Stupid

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 despise the same

Old lies 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 every day to find

Some clever lines to say

To make the meaning come 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"

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
