I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You Lyrics by Natalie Merchant

I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You

well i hope that i don't fall in love with you
coz falling in love just makes me blue
well the music plays and you display a 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?
will you sit down and pin the crown and take that frown and break it
before the evenings gone away i think that you can make it
and i hope that you don't fall in love with me

well the night does funny things inside a man
please don't talk at feelings you don't understand
well i turn around and look at you, you light a cigarette
wish i had the guts to burn 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 be and made you'd like some company
well i turn around and look at you you look back at me
the guy your'e with he's up and spared the chair next to his feet
and i hope that you don't fall in love with me

now it's closing time and the musics beating low
last call for drinks i'll have another stop
well i turn around to look for you, your'e no where 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
