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
into a quiet little place
And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
I can see it in your eyes
the same old lies you heard a night before
And though it's just a line to you,
it never seems all 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 perfume fills my head
The stars get red and old,
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
your perfume fills my head
The stars get redder, no,
And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
