Tom Waits
I Hope That I Don’t Fall in Love With You
Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Falling in love just makes me blue
Well, the music plays and you display your part for me to see
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
Still, I hope that I don't fall in love with you
See, 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
Still, I hope that I don't fall in love with you
I can see that you are lonesome just like me
Yet indeed, would you like some some company
Well, I turn around to look at you, you look back at me
The guy you're with, he's up and split the chair next to you's free
Now I hope that you don't fall in love with me
Well, it's closing time, 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 now I think that I just fell in love with you
