Something Stupid

Something Stupid
------ Sergio Rivero ------
I know I 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

------ Sandra Polop ------
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
------ Sandra Polop y Sergio Rivero ------
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
Like “I love you”
I can see it in your eyes that you despite the same old lies
You heard the night before
And thought it’s just a line to you for me it’s true
And never seemed so right before

I practice every day 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 the night’s so blue
An then I go an spoil it all by saying something stupid
Like “I love you”
