I Hope I Don't Fall in Love with You - 10,000 Maniacs

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 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
