If I had a Lover lyrics

If I said I had a lover

Would it break your heart in two?

If I said that he was handsome

A young man of 22

Would it make your blue eyes open?

Shine a light on a love that’s true?

If I said I had a lover

Would it break your heart in two?

That pretty dress I wear to please you

Wholly coloured to catch your eye

And then the soft light of the evening

Together we both shall lie

If you go now, if you leave me

I don't know what I will do

If I said I had a lover

Would it break your heart in two?

I’d be the devil to make you jealous

Or hurt and tease to make you mad

I’ll go a-dancing in the evening

And the belle of the ball be

But if you go now if you leave me

I don't know what I will do

If I said I had a lover

Would it break your heart in two?
