If You Were My Beloved

Lyrics

I would build a cabin right at your gate
 'Cause my heart would be chained to your floor
 I would call up to your window
 'Til you open up the door
 If you were my beloved
 If you were my beloved
 I'd write you songs of unanswered love
 And sing 'em loud, late at night, without shame
 I would shout it from the rooftops
 'Til the heavens knew your name
 If you were my beloved
 If you were my beloved
 If you were my beloved
 ♪
 What is your parentage?
 Above my fortunes, yet my state is well
 I am a gentleman
 Get you to your lord
 I cannot love him
 Let him send no more
 Unless, perchance, you come to me again
 To tell me how he takes it
 Farewell, fair cruelty
 Oh, I feel a fever rise in my heart
 From the heat of this face
 As he plans
 Olivia, be cautious
 Are you falling far too fast?
 Could he be my beloved?
 Could he be my beloved?
 What, ho, Malvolio?
 Here, Madam! At your service!
 Run after that same peevish messenger
 He left this ring behind him
 Tell him I'll none of it
 I am not for him
 If that the youth will come this way to-morrow
 I'll give him reasons for't
 Hie thee, Malvolio
 Madam, I will
 I don't know what I'm doing!
 Honest love, but I'll never win it
 She could have him in a minute
 (What will she say?)
 The choice, isn't it ironic?
 (To the boy, he's quite charming)
 Oh, must he be mine
 (I hope, someday, she falls ever quietly head-over-heels)
 So she can see
 How it feels
 I could throw all my sorrow away
 And play joyful tunes on repeat
 So sweet!
 Alone in puzzle pieces
 But I would be complete
 If you were my beloved (If you were my beloved)
 (If you were my beloved)
 If you were my beloved
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
