ma io non lo sapevo che questa canzone fosse di Tom Waits. Conoscevo la versione di Hootie and the Blowfish, poi quella di Natalie Merchant..

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.
