Something Stupid (A Duet With Raul & Trisha Yearwood) - The Mavericks

(C. Carson Parks)

I know I'd 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'd drop into a quiet little place

and have a drink or two

And then I'd 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 from me

it's true and never seemed so right before

I practise everyday to find some clever lines

to say to make the meaning come true

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'd go and spoil it all

by saying something stupid

Like I love you

The time is right your perfume fills my head,

the stars get red and oh the night's so blue

And then I'd go and spoil it all

by saying something stupid

Like I love you

I love you

I love you

I do
