You Would If You Could (Original Cast Recording/1986)

How I've looked for someone who
Plays up on my heart like you
Tall and dark and handsome and sweet
Someone who could take my heart
Maybe tear my soul apart
See? I lay myself at your feet

You would, if you could
You could, and you should
And you would if you could
But I can't!

I'm sure that you can
I know you're a man
And you would if you could
But I shan't!

When you're a bad boy
You go my way
But you're a good boy
And so you say regretfully
You would, if you could
You could, and you should
And you would if you could
Oh it's impossible!

I might put my arms 'round you
Do the things that most men do
Men not so high-minded as I
I can't do that caveman stuff
Sock 'em hard, treat 'em rough
Mother wouldn't like me to try

You would, if you could
You could, and you should
And you would if you could
But I don't!

I'm sure that you do
Just look at the view
And you would if you could
But I won't!

You're like an apple
On top of a tree
I'd like to shake you
I'd like to see you
Falling for me

I would, if I could
You could, and you should
And you would if you could-
And I wo-wo- wo-
What do you think? It's out of the question
