I'd never love someone

Whose eyes can see right through me

Whose charms aim to confuse me

For you do not amuse me

I'd never love someone

Who flouts polite convention

I know not your intention as

If I'm your invention

Well I'm not sir

Why must you disarm me like you do

How could I love someone

Who makes me so uncertain

I don't know my own person

I'm lost in your diversions

How could I love someone

Who flirts and then forgets me

Whose soul can possess me

My mind it does protest me

I'm a fool

Why can't you just love me like I do you

Why can't you just love me like I do you

I'd throw it all away

Give in to passion's play

Turn the tables upside down

Immolate this gilded gown

I'd run away with you

I'd start my life anew

I'd throw away my reputation

If only you would love me like I do you

I'd never love someone

How could I love someone

Why can't you just love me like I do you

Why can't you just love me like I do you
