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
    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 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
  I love you...
