Something stupid

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 
That you 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 
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 

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…
