I know I stand in line,

until you think you have the time

to spend an evening with me



And if we go some plaec 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 dispise 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 everyday

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 the I go and spoil it all

by saying something stupid

like: "I love you"



The time is right ....



And then I go and spoil...



"I love you" (3x
