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 through But then I think I'll wait until The evening gets late And I'm alone with you
