Waits, Tom - 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 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 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.

  26. B.... S....

    A true poet. None of the glory, none of the popularity, none of the same old song and dance. A true American original , who did not strive for fame. He strived none the less. He gets me man...

  27. S.... B....

    💋🔥👣

  28. A.... m....

    Not just a singer, song writer, or poet, a wordsmith of the highest quality!

  29. M.... R....

    Lou Reed's vibes, defs.

  30. M.... D....

    Damn.
    Just . . . Damn

  31. B.... W....

    Trust me, deep down inside we both know you haven't. Just still trying to understand, why all of the hostility? And i wish you'd say what you mean and stand by what you say.

  32. E.... G....

    I love Tom ♥

  33. C.... H....

    Came here because of Styx & Mae ❤️

  62. A.... H....

    How could 1.9k people dislike this beautiful song?

  63. O.... B....

    Garip ama kendimi sürekli buralarda buluyorum 👍

  64. A.... M....

    told you
    I'd meet
    you by
    making, this,
    when your
    already there
    promise on
    sorry again
    for never
    knowing, your
    peace wisdom
    by wonder
    some times,
    I, even
    pray I,
    was, there
    watching, the
    witch of
    worry tell
    her singing,
    stories, that
    I, swear
    she was,
    love, alone
    by setting,
    me free
    A.A.I.M.
    M.A.D.D.
    Amen for
    all my
    prayers, to
    stop drunk
    driving Amen

  65. A.... M....

    2make on
    already made
    sure there's,
    a good
    word and
    I, might
    as, well
    take for
    believing, that's,
    what; simple
    wondering's, killing,
    still here
    frozen snow
    pilling, peace
    with ice
    melting, up
    dreams, all
    around me
    promised by
    playing, the
    one; meaning
    word find
    peace remember
    sing, to
    me

  75. A.... W....

    Oh I can't get enough of tom waits. Love his lyrics.. his voice... his blues.. his craziness and of course his awkward roles in Jim jarmusch films... my favorite is most definitely "down by law". When he was young and sexy. Hes still sexy tho. Lol.

  76. S.... L....

    Here because of Adrift❤️

  77. A.... ....

    I'm only here because Ed O'Neil on Modern Family said "The way Tom Waits voice can somehow be ugly and beautiful at the same time". LOL I had no clue who he was until now.
