I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You - 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 tomcat 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 company

Well, I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me

The guy you're with, he's 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
