Natalie Merchant – I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You lyrics

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
coz falling in love just makes me blue
when the music plays and you display your heart for me to see
I've had a beer and now I hear you calling after 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 and take that frown and break it
before the evenings gone away I think that we can 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 company
Well I turn around and 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 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
