something stupid
(duet with nicole kidman)
written by carson parks
i know i stand in line
until you think you have the time
to spend an evening with me
and if we go someplace to dance
i know that theres a chance
you wont be leaving with me
then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
and have a drink or two
and then i go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
like i love you
i can see it in your eyes
that you despise the same old lines
you heard the night before
and though its just a line to you
for me its true
and never seemed so right before
i practice every day to find some clever
lines to say
to make the meaning come through
but then i think ill wait until the evening
gets late
and im alone with you

the time is right

your perfume fills my head

the stars get red

and oh the nights so blue

and then i go and spoil it all

by saying something stupid

like i love you
