Something Stupid Songtext

von Mark Kozelek

I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go somewhere 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'll 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, the 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
The time is right, the perfume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night's so blue
