I know I stand in lineuntil you thi

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 line 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 then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
like I love you
