I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go some place 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 true
And 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...
