Somethin' Stupid
Robbie Williams · In And Out Of Consciousness - The Greatest Hits 1990-2010 [2010]
until you think you have the time
to spend an evening with me
And if we go some place 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 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 lines
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 gets late
and I'm alone with you
The time is right
your 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
your 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"
"I love you"
"I love you"
[repeat]
