Hootie And The Blowfish Closing Time Lyrics

Closing Time Lyrics

(Tom Waits)



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
