Oh baby it's a wild word

I know I stand in line until
you think you have the time to spend
an evening with me.
 

And if we go some place
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 lies you heard the night before.

And though it's just a line to you,
for me it's true and never seems
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 so blue.

And then I go and
spoil it all by saying something
stupid like
"I love you"
