If I May

Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott


I was taught to believe in just the one love
And here I am, probably on my tenth
But then, following the failure and 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 labored 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 bored
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
