Lyrics Something Stupid

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 You still despise the same old lines You heard the night before And though it’s just a line to you For me it’s 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 I’ll wait until the evening gets late And I’m alone with you

The time is right Your perfume fills my head The stars get red And oh the night’s so blue And then I go and spoil it all By saying something stupid Like I love you I love you…

FACTS ABOUT THE SONG and LYRICS – SOMETHING STUPID

“Somethin’ Stupid” is a song written by C. Carson Parks and originally recorded in 1966 by Parks and his wife Gail Foote, as “Carson and Gaile”. It is best known in the hit version by Frank Sinatra and his daughter, Nancy.

Frank and Nancy Sinatra

The most successful and best known version of the song was issued by Frank and Nancy Sinatra on Frank’s album The World We Knew. Frank Sinatra played Parks’ recording to his daughter Nancy’s producer, Lee Hazlewood, who recalled “He asked me, ‘Do you like it?’ and I said, ‘I love it, and if you don’t sing it with Nancy, I will.’ He said, ‘We’re gonna do it, book a studio.’” Their rendition was recorded on February 1, 1967. Al Casey played guitar on the recording.

The song spent four weeks at #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and nine weeks atop the adult contemporary chart, becoming Mr. Sinatra’s second gold single as certified by the RIAA and Ms. Sinatra’s third. It was the first and only instance of a father-daughter number-one song in America. The single also reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart the same year. Because of the song’s intimate nature, this single is sometimes unofficially referred to as “The Incest Song”.

Robbie Williams version

British singer Robbie Williams recorded “Somethin’ Stupid” as a duet in 2001 with Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman. The song appeared on Williams’ 2001 album, Swing When You’re Winning, and it topped the UK Singles Chart at the end of the year.
