IF YOU LOVED ME...

ANNIE:
If you loved me, you'd tell me sometimes
Not leave me to worry and fret.
It destroys my confidence being unsure
Whether we're an item yet.

If you loved me, you'd take me out
At least five times each week,
And you'd be sure to give me all
The attention I desperately seek.

If you loved me, you'd buy me roses,
At least a dozen red;
And by first class, they'd be delivered
To the table beside my bed.

If you loved me, you'd never look
At any girl but me,
Because if you did it would surely mean
You wished that you were free.

If you loved me, this evening we'd be
In a lavish hotel being fed,
And then by midnight we'd be upstairs
Making love in a four poster bed.

If you loved me, you'd surprise me with
A ring of diamonds and gold,
And you'd tell me how I'm the only one
You long to have and hold.

Instead, I'm always just hanging around
Waiting for you to call
Because you're out with the boys again
Kicking a stupid ball.


NATHAN:
If you loved me, you would accept
That footie's a part of my life.
But instead you always nag me to quit
And cause a lot of strife.

If you loved me, you'd understand
That I need some fun with the lads,
Because there'll be no time when we're
Responsible hard-working dads.

If you loved me, you'd appreciate
The little gestures I make,
Instead of demanding more and more
And turning me into a fake.

If you loved me, you wouldn't need me
To say 'I love you' all day.
Surely it's proof enough that I'm here.
If I didn't, then why would I stay?

If you loved me, you'd realise
That on my cashier's pay,
I can't afford to take you out
To smart hotels each day.

If you loved me, you wouldn't expect me
To make you my wife before
I'm ready for such a drastic step.
That would kill our love for sure.

I sometimes think that all you want
Is a mindless, compliant slave.
This girl-power madness possessing you
Will destroy the very things you crave.


YGRAINE:
I may be mistaken, so please feel free
To correct me if I am;
But I believe love is a sharing thing,
Rather than self-serving sham.

It's finding contentment in each other
Without demanding change.
It's caring how the other feels
And allowing them free-range.

It's never trying to make them conform
To your will by threat or guilt.
It's learning to appreciate who they are.
That's how true love is built!
