[Intro]         
   
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
                                   
It never seemed so right before
  
I practice every day 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"
(                )

"I love you"
            
"I love you"
