Write Me a Song

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. *** Write me a song Sponsor: John Hamilton October 10, 2016
