If You Were My Beloved

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
