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 then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid like I love you
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 true and never seemed so right before
I practice everyday 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 on the nights so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
The time is right your perfume fills my head
the stars get red and on the nights so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
