If I Loved You

Lyrics

[JULIE] If I loved you Time and again I would try to say All I'd want you to know If I loved you Words wouldn't come in an easy way Round in circles I'd go Longin' to tell you, but afraid and shy I'd let my golden chances pass me by Soon you'd leave me Off you would go in the mist of day Never, never to know How I loved you If I loved you [BILLY, spoken] Well anyway—you don't love me That's what you said, wasn't it? [JULIE, spoken] Yes [BILLY, spoken] You're a funny kid Don't remember ever meetin' a girl like you Say, are you tryin' to get me to marry you? [JULIE, spoken] Oh, no [BILLY, spoken] Well then, what's puttin' it into my head? I wonder what it'd be like? [JULIE, spoken] What? [BILLY, spoken] Nothin', I know what it'd be like It'd be awful I can just see myself [BILLY] Kinda scrawny and pale, pickin' at my food And lovesick like any other guy I'd throw away my sweater, and dress up like a dude In a dickey and a collar and a tie If I loved you And somehow I can see Just exactly how I'd be If I loved you Time and again I would try to say All I'd want you to know If I loved you Words wouldn't come in an easy way Round in circles I'd go Longin' to tell you, but afraid and shy I'd let my golden chances pass me by Soon you'd leave me Off you would go in the mist of day Never, never to know How I loved you If I loved you
