Something
George Harrison With Eric Clapton And His Band Lyrics

I know I stand in line
I acknowledge that I wait my turn

Until you think you have the time
Until you believe that you are available

To spend an evening with me
To accompany me to an event at night

And if we go some place to dance
In the event that we arrive at a venue for dancing

I know that there's a chance
I am aware that there is a possibility

You won't be leaving with me
You will likely not depart with me

And afterwards we drop
Afterward, we descend

Into a quiet little place
Into a serene location

And have a drink or two
And consume a beverage or two

And then I go and spoil it all
Then, unfortunately, I ruin everything

By saying something stupid
By uttering foolish words

Like I love you
Such as expressing my love for you

I can see it in your eyes
I perceive it in your gaze

That you despise the same old lines
That you dislike recycled phrases

You heard the night before
That you heard yesterday evening

And though it's just a line to you
Even though it is solely a phrase for you

For me it's true
For me, it is sincere

And never seemed so right before
And never before has it felt so correct

I practice everyday
I rehearse daily

To find some clever lines to say
To discover witty remarks to express

To make the meaning come through
To convey the significance thoroughly

Then I think I'll wait
Then, I contemplate delaying

Until the evening gets late
Until the night progresses

And I'm alone with you
And I am in solitude with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head
The moment is appropriate, your scent permeates my thoughts

The stars get red
The stars become crimson

And oh the night's so blue
And oh, the night is so melancholy

And then I go and spoil it all
And then, unfortunately, I ruin everything

I love you
By revealing my affection for you

Yes I love you
Yes, I have strong feelings of love for you
