If I Fell
The Beatles · On Air - Live At The Bbc - Vol 2 [2013]
would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'Cause I've been in love before
And I've found that love is more
That just holding hands
If I gave my heart to you
I must be sure from the very start
that you would 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
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad
If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
would love to love you
And that she will cry
when she learns we are two
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad
If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
would love to love you
And that she will cry
when she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you
