I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You by 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 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.
