I know I've turned the light on till you think you've had the time to spend the evening with meAnd if we go someplace to dance I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with meAnd afterwards we'll drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or twoAnd then I'll go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like I love youI can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lies you wrote the night beforeAnd though it's just a line to you, for me it's true and never seemed so right beforeI practice every day to find some clever lines to say to make the meaning come throughBut then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late and I'm alone with youThe time is ripe, your perfume fills my air, the skies get red and bold, the nights are blueAnd then I'll go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like I love youI can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lies you wrote the night beforeAnd then I'll go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like I love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love you
