Song Title: I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You
Artist: Tom Waits
Album: Closing Time
Date Released: 1973
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, 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.
Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,
Well I turn around to look at you,
you light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
but we've never met,
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 turn around to look at you,
and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split,
the chair next to you is free,
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.
Well I 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.

Closest I could find was Hootie and the Blowfish
Here are the lyrics It's called fool
Saw you last night
you were sleeping in my mind
Doubting you’ll ever be free again
Then I climbed back inside
Someone open my eyes
To find me drunk again
Bonnie on the radio
And she was singing low “Give it up or let me go”
Every night there is one more
Every night there is two more
Saying I shouldn’t be feeling this pain
I think I better grow up now or go insane
There’s so much I feel
So much I conceal
There’s just so many things I can be
Someone write the story of 5 points
No one wanted to know me
Now they all have opinions of what we do
So they go down to Bar None so we can have a drink or two
Can’t write a story from the trees
I know somewhere she’s watching me
Saying “Boy carry your load”
Oh I don’t want to go back on the road now
There’s so much I feel
So much I conceal
There’s just so many places to see
And faces I can read
There’s just so many things I can be

It kind of sounds like "If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me" by George Jones, but I don't think there's a cigarette in that one.
It starts out "The bars are all closed, it's 4 in the morning...
