Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Cause falling in love just makes me blue(1)
Well, 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, there's people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair
Well, if you sit down with this old clown, I'll take that frown and break it
Before the evening's gone away, I think that we can make it
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Well, I can see that you are lonesome just like me
And it being late, you'd like some company
Well now, I've had two, I look at you and you look back at me
The guy you're with he's up and split, the chair next to you's free
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me
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(2) feelings you don't understand
But I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette
I wish I had the guts to b** one, but we've never met
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout
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
Cause falling in love just makes me blue(1)
Well, the music plays and you display your heart for me to see
