I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You lyrics - Marc Cohn

(originally by Tom Waits)

(from "The Prince & Me" soundtrack)

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 head a beer and now I hear you calling out for me

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

Now, the night does funny things inside a man

These old tomcat feelings, you don't understand

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've had two, I look at you, and you look back at me

The guy you're with is up and split, the chair next to you is 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 have another stout

I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found

I search the place for your lost face and have another round

And I think that I just fell in love with you
