I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You Songtext
von Tom Waits

One, two, three, four

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
