I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love

WRITTEN BY

TOM WAITSWell,

I hope that

I don't fall in love with you.'

Cause falling in love just makes me blue.

When 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.

This 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 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 is free.

And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

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 nowwhere 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.
