Something Stupid

(Carson C. Parks)



I know I'd 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'd drop into a quiet little place

To have a drink or two

And then I'd go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid like I love you.



I can see it in your eyes, you still 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 everyday to find some clever lines

To say, to make the meaning come true

But then I think I'll wait until

The evening's gettin' late and I'm alone with you.



The time is right, your perfume fills my head

The stars get red and all the night's so blue

And then I'd go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid like I love you.



--- Instrumental ---



The time is right, your perfume fills my head

The stars get red and all the night's so blue

And then I'd go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid like I love you.



And when I'd go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid like I love you...
