10,000 Maniacs - I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You lyrics

[ Tom Waits ] 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 you don't fall in love with me Well the night does funny things inside a man These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand Well I turn around and 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 and 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 and the music's fading out Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout Well I turn around to look for 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
