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

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
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 you'll take that frown and break it
Before the evening is gone away I think that we can make it
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

There are not just funny things inside a man,
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand
Well I turn around and look at you you light a cigarette
Wish I had the guts to bum one, but we 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 be you maybe like some company,
Well I turn around and look at you, you look back at me,
The guy you're with you 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 and look at you you're nowhere to be found
I search the place for your lost face, 'cause I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.
