Somethin’ Stupid

[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell]
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

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell]
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"

[Bridge: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell]
I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lines
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you
For me, it's true
It never seemed so right before

[Verse 2: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell]
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

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell]
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"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell]
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"
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid like "I love you"

[Outro: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell]
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
