Tom Waits - I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You lyrics

Well i hope that i don't fall in love with you 'cause falling in love just makes me blue, Well the music plays and you display Your heart for me to see, I had a beer and now i hear you Calling out for me And i hope that i don't fall in love with you. Well the room is crowded, people everywhere And i wonder, should i offer you a chair? Well if you sit down with this old clown, Take that frown and break it, Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it, And i hope that i don't fall in love with you. Well the night does funny things inside a man These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand, Well i turn around to look at you, You light a cigarette, I wish i had the guts to bum one, But we've never met, And i hope that i don't fall in love with you. I can see that you are lonesome just like me, And it being late, you'd like some some company, Well i turn around to look at you, And you look back at me, The guy you're with has up and split, The chair next to you's free, And i hope that you don't fall in love with me. Now it's closing time, the music's fading out Last call for drinks, i'll have another stout. Well i turn around to look at you, You're nowhere to be found, I search the place for your lost face, Guess i'll have another round And i think that i just fell in love with you.
