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
into a quiet little place
And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid like I love you
I can see it in your eyes
the same old lies you heard
And though it's just a line to you,
and never seemed so right before
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
your per fume fills my head,
the stars get red and oh,
And then I go exploit it all
by saying something stupid like I love
your perfume fills my head,
the stars get red and oh,
And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid like I love you
