Tom Waits - I hope that I don't fall in love with you

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, there's 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.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
And it being late, you'd like some company,
Well now I've had two, I 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.

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well, the night does funny things inside a man.
This 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.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
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.
