I'd never love someone whose eyes can see right through me Whose charms aim to confuse me For you do not amuse me I'd never love someone who flouts polite convention I know not your intention as if I'm your invention Well, I'm not, sir Why must you disarm me like you do? How could I love someone who makes me so uncertain? I don't know my own person I'm lost in your diversions How could I love someone who flirts and then forgets me? Whose soul can possess me? My mind it does protest me I'm a fool Why can't you just love me like I do you? Why can't you just love me like I do you? I'd throw it all away, give in to passion's play Turn the tables upside down Immolate this gilded gown I'd run away with you I'd start my life anew I'd throw away my reputation If only you would love me like I do you I'd never love someone How could I love someone? Why can't you just love me like I do you? Why can't you just love me like I do you?
