10,000 Maniacs - I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You Lyrics

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 you don't fall in love with me

Well, the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand
Well, I turn around and 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 and 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 and the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout
Well, I turn around to look for 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
