Somethin' Stupid Lyrics

Marvin Gaye Somethin' Stupid

I know I stand in line, until you think you have the
time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a
chance
You won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something
stupid
Like: "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same
old lies
You heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars
get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something
stupid
Like: "I love you"
("I love you, I love you,...")
