Hootie & The Blowfish - I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You Lyrics






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 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.
These old tomcat 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 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's 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'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.

    Great talent. Mr. Rucker is as nice of a guy as you'll ever meet. Very down to earth.

  28. B.... A....

    I can't get behind this cover.

  29. 7.... ....

    Saw that concert. Man it was hot, but worth it.

  30. C.... A....

    This song right here! Wish it was on Apple music

    C.... A....

    I'm sure the original is and while Rucker does a fine job it isn't even in the same ball park as Waits.

  31. K.... B....

    at least somebody shows The Man some love

  32. R.... V....

    Man this is so, so, so beautiful! (Michelle)

  34. a.... d....

    Perfect cover!!! Much respect from Australia guys ...

  35. l.... ....

    Just love this

  36. i.... ....

    I thought Hootie cut The Blowfish loose and went solo to do country music.

    i.... ....

    He did??? I never heard that!

  37. B.... D....

    wonderfull job

  38. G.... ....

    Tom Waits isn't even dead yet and he's still rolling around in his grave.

    G.... ....

    Tom Waits is sitting on the stage with guitar playing along...so I think he's fine with it.

    G.... ....

    Tom Waits was Darius' college roommate.

    G.... ....

    Seems unlikely since he's almost 20 years older than Darius.

    G.... ....

    That is Mark Bryan, the lead guitarist from Hootie & The Blowfish sitting with the acoustic. Their drummer, Jim Sonefeld, is playing the electric guitar in this video.

  39. t.... ....

    I like Hootie but nothing beats Mr. Waits

    t.... ....

    turkeyladle darius is killing it

    t.... ....

    I know Waits is a genius and all but his voice is just so unpleasant I really can't enjoy his singing...

  40. J.... ....

    Blegh! Piss on Tom Waits much!!!!

  41. R.... M....

    He royally screwed up the verses.

    R.... M....

    You know when people do covers they can shift around verses and make it shorter or longer right?

    R.... M....

    A little bit. I think he just made it his own they did a damn good job I thought. But you know, up against Tom youre pretty much fucked.

  42. A.... C....

    marc cohn's is the best version of this song. but no matter it's still a great song
     

  43. P.... D....

    Nice, but my favorite version is from the 10,000 Maniacs on their Campfire CD.

  44. m.... ....

    really solid, so many covers of Waits go wrong, but this is very good.

  45. A.... J....

    Love it !!!!

  46. I.... S....

    Agreed. :)
