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
