| I was taught to believe in just the one love
|
| And here I am, probably on my tenth
|
| But then, following the failure of the fiasco of the first
|
| Nothing after really made much sense
|
| If I may, I’ll fall in love with you
|
| I hope that I’m not saying so too soon
|
| This could be our last chance to kick into touch the blue
|
| It ain’t rocket science, but could fly us to the moon
|
| If I may, I’ll fall in love with you
|
| We gotta get ourselves a ball and chain
|
| I know I’m just the prize that lonely women choose
|
| I’m praying that you’ll maybe do the same
|
| I was the seventh daughter of a man who worked the pits
|
| And though he never ever really said
|
| He toiled and he laboured and he loved this girl to bits
|
| And grafted for this family till he was dead
|
| If I may, I’ll fall in love with you
|
| I cannot promise that you are the first
|
| Every time I’ve loved someone, I’ve given very best
|
| And it seems to me they’ve given very worst
|
| If I may, I’ll fall in love with you
|
| We gotta get ourselves a ball and chain
|
| I know I’m just the prize that lonely women choose
|
| I’m praying that you’ll maybe do the same
|
| And I’ll be singing these blues
|
| Till half the audience are bald
|
| And the other half can’t quite
|
| Remember what the husbands are called
|
| Or I could fill you up with nonsense
|
| Making promises I can’t afford
|
| The stuff we wanna hear
|
| The stories that we tell whenever we’re bored
|
| If I may, I’ll fall in love with you
|
| We gotta get ourselves a ball and chain
|
| I know I’m just the prize that lonely women choose
|
| I’m praying you’ll maybe do the same
|
| I’m praying that you’ll maybe do the same
|
| I’m praying that you’ll maybe do the same… |
