Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 callin' out for me And I hope that I don't fall in love with you [Verse 2] 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 can make it And I hope that I don't fall in love with you [Verse 3] Well, the night does funny things inside a man These old tomcat feelings you don't understand Well, I turn around to 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 [Verse 4] I can see that you are lonesome just like me And it being late, you'd like some company Well, I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me The guy you're with, he's up and split—the chair next to you is free And I hope that you don't fall in love with me [Verse 5] Now, it's closing time The music's fading out Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout Well, I turn around to look at 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
