4- Correct the mistakes in the following paragraphs.
I can to see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies

But then I think I´ll wait until the evening get late
And I´m alone with you

7- Listen to the song again.
know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there´s a chance
You won´t be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lines
You heard the night before
And though its just a line to you
For me its true
And never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever
Lines to say
To make the meaning come true
But then I think Ill wait until the evening
Gets late
And Im alone with you
The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
And oh the nights so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I love you...
