Something Stupid
(duet with Nicole Kidman)
Written by Carson Parks
G G/Am
I know I stand in line
G/Hm G/Am
Until you think you have the time
Am
To spend an evening with me
Am Am/Hm
And if we go someplace to dance
Am/C D
I know that there's a chance
G
You won't be leaving with me
G7 G7/A G7/Bm G/C
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
C Eb
And have a drink or two
Am D
And then I go and spoil it all
Am D
By saying something stupid
G
Like I love you
G G/Am
I can see it in your eyes
G/Hm G/Am
That you despise the same old lines
Am
You heard the night before
A A/Hm
And though it's just a line to you
A/C#
For me it's true
A/E D
And never seemed so right before
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
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
I love you...
