(tom waits)

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 some company
Well I turn around to 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, 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
