[maryka20]

I do fall in love with you.

[ThePola42]

too late :(

[SuzanneDeniseB]

Too late.. im already in love with you :}

[SparePartsII]

Muscles knew from the start. It's easy for some. Great song.

[SparePartsII]

Music to frame a life.

[wildflowersofmich]

[snakework]

2,000 miles.... almost 2 years later. I think she never fell in love with me, I wish I could say the same thing. I Have a new woman in my life but this song.... I can't help but think of those 3 months. Sad, amazing, wonderful, terrible, intoxicating insanity... I

[ritacol1000]

@snakework

Sorry to say...I know the feeling. :(

[SuzanneDeniseB]

Ahhh Love Tom Waits thanks for sharing xox

[Jayguevara1982]

I have four bersions of this song, never heard this one before. Has a ve nice, improvised sound to it.

[flbntz]

Which Trader Joe's?

[setzerbuk11]

If my life were only known in music the music of Tom Waits, I think that would suffice.

[diacony]

i listen it and i hope i dont fall in love with you, baby, cause u are gone...

[indigenous4logic]

a great songwriter...much respect....♫Logic

[makemok49]

70% I don't understand but when he does this, well.

[Koalalars]

Pure and open hearted <3

[sootycowboy2]

can someone explain "i hope i dont fall in love with u" is it about alcohol? i love i just dont understand it... 

[jltc008]

@sootycowboy2 It's about him sitting in a bar trying to work up the courage to talk to a pretty girl.

[Schiefthunder]

@sootycowboy2 I reckon he is on alcohol recovering from the heartache of a previous relationship. Yet, contrary to his intentions maybe he is moving on........ many people find love soon after a breakup- maybe that's what this song is............

[jimpslawton]

gotta love tom

[TheDuittoit]

People forget why they came here. Let's not make this about me, me, me, me, me, ME, Me, ME, MEEEEEEEEEE!!!! This is about Tom's music, is it not?

[xoticLezPride]

@TheDuittoit Isn't that what You Tube is about?!.. ME, YOU, HIM, HER, WE AND US! Your You Tube page is a perfect example of "ME ME ME ME MEEEE, MINE AND WHAT I LIKE"!.. Granted there are shit starters that comment away from the subject because they've got nothing else better to do, but aside from that, yes, this is a great song I've grown to enjoy. Just learn to ignore pettiness.

[TheDuittoit]

@xoticLezPride Yes, you are right. The yappers just piss me off with their comments. Thanks for the reminder. I'll try not to read the shit starters' comments...

[omygoshineedausernam]

@TheDuittoit Consider yourself a "yapper", whose comments I will ignore.

[TheDuittoit]

@omygoshineedausernam Good luck with that as you will often see me around Tom's videos.

[AT64127]

I got tears in my eyes, the song reminds me of walking in the forrest with my grandad. When everyting was so simple

[TheDuittoit]

@AT64127 I like the way you relate to this. Thank you. There are so many people who seem to confuse things.

[freeman2545]

he is quite the artist.......i know why i like his work so much....this must be some of his earlier stuff.....some of his better work....he got into theatre and shit later on...kinda fucked stuff up....but i like even his later work......one of my favorite artists...he sure wouldnt win american idol....

[xoticLezPride]

Someone I recently met who I'd figured might turn out to be a friend or a fling at most became a bit more so far. We repeated something similar to the title of this song to one another a few times on our fourth date since we clicked in many personable ways but also grew guarded from past experiences, so I wondered if there ever was a song composed with this title and, voila!.. Also uploaded on my b-day ;0)

[Firnaranwen]

@xoticLezPride you should tell us the outcome of the story some day =)

[xoticLezPride]

@Firnaranwen At my age, I should hope this one will last for the rest of my life! I'm not 19 anymore, so I'd better get a move on ;D

[foobee2]

@xoticLezPride You were born in 2010? I think it might be a bit soon for you to be romantically involved with anyone.

[xoticLezPride]

@foobee2 Really? And at your age of 31, that's all you were able to make of my comment was a year?! I couldn't possibly have meant the month and day huh?

[foobee2]

@xoticLezPride I see humor is lost on you, excellent. Try to be a little more serious, I'm not sure people understand how profound you are.

[xoticLezPride]

@foobee2 Spoken as if you know me personally. Do you?.. You're acting real brand new for a grown man?!.. Here's some "excellent" humor for you.. Bend forward, swallow yourself, and choke on it! There, is that the excellent humor you were looking for? If not, I'd take those comments from others on your profile, as well as my reaction at you and maybe consider talking to someone and getting your head fixed. Find yourself a social hobby creep.

[foobee2]

@xoticLezPride You are very very angry, a bit reactionary. I made a joke. Granted, not the world's pinnacle of wit, but a joke none the less. Nor was the joke an insult to you in any way. You misunderstood, and I'm assuming from your name, the chip on your shoulder demanded that you lash out at what you thought was an insult. As to the entire 2 comments on my page, both were made by idiot right wing creationists after I responded to moronic things they said. Seriously now...calm the fuck down.

[xoticLezPride]

@foobee2 UGGGGH! Be gone with you already. This isn't the actual person who started this profile, I'm her girlfriend. Go find a woman elsewhere!

[foobee2]

@xoticLezPride Why are you,or her, convinced that I'm somehow trying to pick you up? Does you narcissism know no bounds?

[xoticLezPride]

@foobee2 Does "you", LMAO... WHAAAAAT? Look, we're real drunk right now, and btw having a great time at your expense, so please, keep the lonely loser comments coming. We could use the laugh till we get home and pass out, LOLZ

[foobee2]

@xoticLezPride Ah yes, and now to insult my intelligence because of a typo. It all makes sense now. Good times. Not sure why I even tried to actually communicate. Have many laughs, some good dark beer, and drive safe.

[xoticLezPride]

@foobee2 AWESOME DUDE! You finally caught on and HEY, happy teabagging or whatever the f@%k ur into

[kakarante]

i love you, man, from MARSEILLE, France...

[Fabricci100]

Me emocionei com esta canção!!!

[friendlyisle]

sweet melody!

[brian1679]

which trader joe's?

[3lendi]

simple lyrics... simple melody... so simple that it's a rolemodel for songs...

[soggywallet]

@3lendi Tell me about it, I always try to flash up my songs with fancy words.. Sometimes it works very well but half the time I should just remember that a simple line can trump and fifty-nine syllable word any day..

[3lendi]

@soggywallet just stay simple :) everybody tries so hard to make something different, that something really different is: being simple... :)

[seqament]

it's sad. made me suffer of love

[BayGirl76]

Love this...  *sigh* :)

[sirronald69]

[duganrushes]

Tom was, is, and always will be among the best of the best! Love this guy's music whether he does it or if another like Diana Krall records it. One of America's most versatile writers of lyrics.

That first song always breaks your heart.

@poodlepup2 Oh my gosh, which one?

[TheDuittoit]

@poodlepup2 You're a lucky man. I've just received Bad As Me on vinyl here in Taiwan... I have yet to connect my Thorens.

[matseman46]

@poodlepup2 I envy you... Loved Tom for all my adult life he put the feelings in words...

[ziegogoboy]

@poodlepup2 Has the be the best damn Trader Joe's in the world. Where is it?

[bunnyslayer14]

@poodlepup2 if you are serious, that kicks ass.

[Victor1930]

What version of "hope I don't" is this? I've only ever heard the original on Closing Time. Nice.

[viakali]

@Victor1930 It sounds like the same version from the release "The Early Years, Vol. 2", which I believe was recorded in 1971-72.

[Victor1930]

@viakali Thanks! I'll check it out...

[rollontg]

Tom Waits rock, thx for posting

[MACHAWK123]

Not sure why these are linked, but-t IHTIDFTIWY is, brilliant.

[anniej1961]

How romantic is that???

[jwlord80]

@anniej1961 As romantic as me falling in love with two baboons drunk on vodka running a muck at a wedding
