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

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
you still 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

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
i love you
i love you
i love you...
