I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You

I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You - Emiliana Torrini

Composer：Tom Waits

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you

'Cause falling in love just makes me blue

When 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

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

I can see that you are lonesome just like me

And it being late you'd like 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 is free

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

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
