 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, there's people everywhere

 And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?

 Well, if you sit down with this old clown,

 I ll 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.

 I can see that you are lonesome just like me,

 and it being late, you'd like some company,

 Well I've had two, I 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.

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

 Now the night does funny things inside a man

 These old tomcat feelings you don't understand

 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.

 Now it's closing time, the music's fading out

 Last call for drinks I'll have another stout

 I turn around and look at you, you're nowhere to be found

 I search the place for your lost face, I guess I'll have another round

 and I think that I just fell in love with you
