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
