If I Loved You

Ain't you scared of me? I mean, after what that cop said about me
takin' money from girls?
I ain't scared!
Is that your name Julie, Julie, hmm hmm, somethin'?
Julie Jordon.

You're a queer one, Julie Jordan
Ain't you sorry that you didn't run away?
You can still go if you wanna.

I reckon that I care to choose to stay!
You couldn't take my money if I didn't have any
And I don't have a penny, that's true
And if I did have money
You couldn't take any
'Cause you'd ask an' I'd give it to you!

You're a queer one, Julie Jordan
Have you ever had a fella you give money to?
No!
Ain't you ever had a fella at all?
No!
Well, you must have a fella you went walkin' with
Yes!
Where'd you walk?
Nowhere special I recall
In the woods?
No!
On a beach?
No!
Did you love him
No, I've never told you anyone, I told you that
Aha! You're-Your're a funny kid!
Hey, you wanna go to town dance maybe or...
No! I have to be careful!
Of what!
Of my character... You see, I'm never gonna marry.

I'm never gonna marry if I was gonna marry
I wouldn't have to be such a stickler
But I'm never gonna marry
And a girl who don't marry
Has got to be much more partic'lar.

Ah ah ah
Hey s'ppose- s'ppose I was to say that I would marry you, hmm?

You!
Oh, that scared you, hmm?
Then you are thinkin' 'bout what the cop said!
No, I ain't, I never paid no mind of what he said!
But you wouldn't marry a smear like me, would you?
Yes, I would!
If I loved you... It wouldn't make no difference what you'd-
Even if I died for it
Well, how you know what you'd do if you loved me?
How you'd feel or anythin'?

I don't know how I know
Just the same I know how it'd be
If I loved you
When I work in the mill weaving at the loom
I gaze absent-minded at the roof
And half the time the shuttle get tangled in the threads
And the warp get mixed with the woof
If I loved you
But you don't!
No, I don't!
