Tom Waits - I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You lyrics

rate me

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you

Cause falling in love just makes me blue,

While the music plays and you display your heart for me to see,

I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere

And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?

Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it,

Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it,

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man

These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,

Well I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette,

I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met,

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,

and it being late, you'd like some company,

Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me,

The guy you're with he's up and splits, the chair next to you's free,

And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out

Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.

Well I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found,

I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round

And I think that I just fell in love with you.
