Original lyrics and song by Tom Waits – I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You

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.

CLOSETED (MY LYRICS)

Man, your clothes are very stylish just like you
Stylish and rainbow, not just blue
While you dance and twirl, just like a girl
Your eyes with joy and glee
I hope you're fun and now in turn
You sing and dance for me
And I hope that in your heart is room for two

All these people here are bored and drink too much
They are so blasé, just hang around and such
So please dance with me and you will see
I make you smile and happy
Before you know it we will kiss
I long for you so badly
And I hope that in your heart is room for two.

I am gay my friend and I see in your eyes
These same feelings beam but you keep telling lies
Well I try to make you real to me
You smile so distantly
I wish I had the guts to kiss
But I'm shy suddenly
And I hope that in your heart is room for two.

I know my gaydar is alright, I just can sense
But your distance to yourself is so immense
Still I catch your eye and look at you
You shy away from me
My hand stops mid-air in despair
Just look at me, please do
And I see your heart does have no room for two.

Now the party's gone, my dancing desperate
Last dance the band says, choose a lovely mate
So I turn around to dance with you
You're slowly moving out
I wrap my arms around myself
And slowly sway about
And I see your heart is a closeted room.
