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
