Discover the story of the song > Something Stupid – Lola Marsh

The protagonist is waiting in line for her romantic partner to spend time with her, even though she knows there's a chance he won't choose to be with her. They eventually go to a quiet place, have some drinks, and when the moment feels right, she ends up saying something silly like "I love you" and ruining the moment. She knows that he has heard all the cheesy lines before, but for her, it's true and it never felt more right. She spends her days practicing clever lines, but decides it's better to wait until they're alone together at night. She repeats this pattern again and again, spoiling the moment each time by saying something silly.
