Hold On
Tom Waits
5:34Well, 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 callin' 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, I'll take that frown and break it Before the evening's gone away, I think that we can make it And I hope that I don't fall in love with you Well, I can see that you are lonesome just like me And it being late, you'd like some company Well, I'll have had to, I'd look at you, and you look back at me The guy you're with, he's up and split, the chair next to you is free And I hope that you don't fall in love with me 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 Now, it's closing time The music's fading out Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout 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
