If perhaps I'd been a little distant
If I tried to play a little hard to get
Do you think you might have fallen in love?
If I'd been a trifle, inconsistent
If I hadn't let you light each cigarette
Do you think you might have fallen in love?
And if I'd wonder the way you like, him
Would I've been more appealing?
Had my chin been stronger
Had my kisses lasted longer
Would I've inspired that I adore her feeling
If I'd been little more, attractive
Had my power had not been so, overactive
Would you have not held that nose
Like some meek, sweet adolescent lad?
What a fool I was to ever believe
That someday you could love me
Just, the way, I am
