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)
