I know I stand in __________________
Until you think you have the ________________________
To spend an _________________________ with me
And if we go someplace to _________________________
I know that there's a ______________________
You won't be _______________________ with me
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a _______________________ or two
And then I go and ____________________ it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I can see it in your ________________________
That you _________________________ the same _________________ lines
You heard the ______________________ before
And though it's just a _________________ to you
For me it's true
And never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some ___________________
lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening
gets late
And I'm ___________________ with you
The time is _________________
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get _______________
And oh the night's so _________________
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I _______________ you
I love you...
Post-Listening Activity:
Why do they think saying "I love you " is stupid?
Why do you think people are afraid to say "I love you"?
Full Lyrics
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 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...
