How Does That Grab You, Darlin'

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.

And 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
It 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".
