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 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"
("I love you, I love you,...")
