Lyrics for Song: I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You
Lyrics for Album: Campfire Songs: The Popular, Obscure & Unknown Recordings [2004]
[ Tom Waits ]
Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
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, 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 you don't fall in love with me.
Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,
Well I turn around and 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 some company,
Well I turn around and look at you, and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you's free,
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.
Now it's closing time and the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look for 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.

10,000 Maniacs have long been celebrated for their intricate blend of alternative rock and folk sensibilities, often characterized by Natalie Merchant's distinctive vocals and poetic lyricism. This track, featured on the 2004 compilation Campfire Songs, exemplifies the band's ability to craft intimate, emotionally resonant melodies that resonate with listeners seeking depth and sincerity. While the group is perhaps best known for their earlier hits, this recording highlights their enduring capacity to explore nuanced themes of romance and vulnerability. The song stands as a testament to the band's rich discography, offering a moment of quiet reflection within their broader catalogue. It captures the essence of their musical evolution, bridging the gap between their classic sound and later experimental phases without relying on overt theatricality. |
