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.
