Something Stupid - Jim Murple Memorial

Written by：C. 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 there's a chance

You won't be leaving with me

And 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 lies you heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you for me it's 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 I'll wait until the evening gets late and

I'm alone with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head

The stars get red and oh the night's so blue

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 lies you heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you for me it's 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 I'll wait until the evening gets late and

I'm alone with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head

The stars get red and oh the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you
