Lyrics:
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.
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.

I find it unfair how talented Rusty is, yet he's so underrated. He needs over 10 million subscribers. One of the best musicians I ever heard in my whole life.

Dear Rusty Cage, I was crying over life's terrible blues with people around me, and when this song came on it made me begin to feel what I was crying over. I cried over love this song.was originally from tom but you did this perfectly; thank you for bring emotion to this song also to add a geeky part. "also I just fell inlove with you" I literally whispered "oh yes I did" thank you for singing (:

[@ThePeaceableKingdom]

I really like Tom Waits, but don't know all his songs: this is one I've never heard. But your version is sensitive and expressive. Really like it. Good work!

[@greenbasterd9425]

I'm leaving a thumbs up on a 10yo video and I can't believe how long it took me to come across this. Hey Rusty, this is one of my favorite and most relatable songs. I stumbled across your cover looking for the original and now it's one of my favorites. Back in 1999, in high school, I did a shitty Mashup of the Tom Waits version and Tifa's theme from FFVII. Dedicated to a crush who didn't know. I always felt that had I been more mature at the time it would have worked but c'est la vie.

[@Superstar17ist]

Amazing! You are an amazing singer!

[@TerrellMonroe]

dude, i think i just fell for you!..i was only minding my own business - just doing a youtube search for dylan ukulele covers - ummm...yeah, well next thing i know u pop up and well, an hour and a half & about 20 videos later i can't get over it!!..ur playing is awesome man!!

[@angeltolbert4841]

you are really good at making music, im really picky about covers but so far everything ive heard from you i really like. and your song bone to pick, so far, might be the best, to me at least. i hope you keep writing and keep on making beautiful tunes. ps. love your voice.
