If I fell in love with you
 you promise to be true
And help me understand
Cos I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you
I  be sure
From the very start
That you  love me more than her

If I trust in you oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her
Cuz I  stand the pain
And I  be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I
 love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
Cos I  stand the pain
And I  be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I
 love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you
