If I said I had a lover
Would it break your heart in two?
If I said that he was handsome
A young man of 22
Would it make your blue eyes open?
Shine a light on a love that’s true?
If I said I had a lover
Would it break your heart in two?
That pretty dress I wear to please you
Wholly coloured to catch your eye
And then the soft light of the evening
Together we both shall lie
If you go now, if you leave me
I don't know what I will do
If I said I had a lover
Would it break your heart in two?
I’d be the devil to make you jealous
Or hurt and tease to make you mad
I’ll go a-dancing in the evening
And the belle of the ball be
But if you go now if you leave me
I don't know what I will do
If I said I had a lover
Would it break your heart in two?
