Something Stupid
Frank Sinatra · Other Songs - Frank Sinatra
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 spoilt it all
by saying something stupid
like :"I love you"
I can see it in your eyes,
you despite the same old lies
you heard the night before
And though it's just a lie to you
for me it's true
it 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"
"I love you"
Something Stupid - Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra's rendition of 'Something Stupid' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery over romantic ballads. Originally a novelty hit recorded by The Righteous Brothers in 1964, the song was reimagined by Sinatra on his 1966 album 'Come Fly With Me,' where he infused the material with his signature smooth vocal style and sophisticated arrangement. The track became a defining moment in Sinatra's later career, showcasing his ability to reinterpret pop standards with jazz sensibilities while maintaining emotional depth. It remains one of his most recognizable and enduring recordings, frequently covered by artists across genres and cementing its place in the American songbook as a timeless expression of enduring love.
