The piece:
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, there's 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 and 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've had two, I 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.
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,
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

A very good song of the first album of Tom Waits
Yes, maybe musically simple but, full of feeling, heartfelt song, a underground night bar love story. Perfect for reflexion times. I like a lot!!
