If I Fell - Nellie McKay

If I fell in love with you

Would you promise to be true

And help me understand

'Cause I've been in love before

And I found that love was more

Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you

I must be sure

From the very start

That you would love me more than her

If I trust in you

Oh please don't run and hide

If I love you too

Oh please don't hurt my pride like her

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain

And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see

That I would love to love you

And that she will cry

When she learns we are two

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain

And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see

That I would love to love you

And that she will cry

When she learns we are two

If I fell in love with you
