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.
´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

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.
