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 I don't fall in love with you.


Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat 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.


I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
And it being late, you'd like some some company,
Well I turn around to 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, 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.
