Lyrics The Night I Fell in Love - Pet Shop Boys

The Night I Fell in Love

I was backstage
Couldn’t believe my luck was in
I saw him approach
Wearing a most approachable grin
When he said hello
I was surprised
He spoke so politely
I said I’d liked his show
Well he just smiled
I guess it happens nightly
And so I fell in love
We went to his room, he had a video camera
I was so nervous, I had to try hard not to stammer
He said
«I'm glad you liked the show
That crowd was dope out there tonight
Alright, you wanna see some more?
Well be my guest, you can have a private performance»
I’d fallen in love
I didn’t ask why
Though he seemed like such a regular guy
He said we could be secret lovers just him and me
Then he joked «Hey, man!
Your name isn’t Stan, is it?
We should be together!»
And he was passionate
I guess I would rate him a nine out of ten by then
I’d fallen in love
When I asked why have I heard so much
About him being charged
With homophobia and stuff
He just shrugged
Next morning we woke, he couldn’t have been a nicer bloke
Over breakfast made jokes
About Dre and his homies and folks
Neither of us asked if or when we would see each other again
But I thought that was cool cause I was already late for school by then
I’d fallen in love
