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 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 and, Oh, the night's so blue. And then I go and spoil it all By saying something stupid Like "I love you" ... I love you ... I love you I love you ... I love you

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
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 and,
Oh, the night's so blue.
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like "I love you" ...

I love you ... I love you
I love you ... I love you

Sé que estoy en la fila
Hasta que te decidas
A pasar una noche conmigo.
Y si nos fuéramos a bailar,
Sé que puede ocurrir
Que no te vayas conmigo.

Y más tarde
Quedarnos en un lugar tranquilo
Y tomar un trago o dos,
Y luego lo arruino todo
Diciendo algo tonto
Como "Te quiero".

Puedo verlo en tus ojos
Que desprecias
Las mismas viejas mentiras
Que escuchaste la noche anterior.

Y aunque esta es un fila para ti,
Para mí es verdad
Y nunca pareció tan real antes.

Practico día a día
Para hallar frases inteligentes,
Que muestren el significado.
Pero luego pienso en esperar
Hasta que llegue la noche
Y me quede a solas contigo.

El momento es el indicado,
Tu perfume envuelve mi cabeza,
Las estrellas se enrojecen y,
Oh, la noche es tan azul.
Y luego lo arruino todo
Diciendo algo tonto
Como "Te quiero" ...

Te quiero ... Te quiero
Te quiero ... Te quiero
