I Hope That I Don’t Fall in Love With You Songtext
von 10,000 Maniacs

Well I hope that I don′t fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue
While 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 tom-cat 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 splits, 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
