Loudon Wainwright Iii - I Suppose lyrics

I suppose that I could love you Though my mind tells me; "No way" It says "Screw it, you've been through it" It's not worth the price you pay Than it reminds me of the last time Each gorey detail It's a drag that tells me; "Bag it" No, my memory doesn't fail And I suppose that I could love you If my heart were still intact It keeps ticking, but not tricking me Like it used to, that's a fact I have been burned and I have learned To let the muscle do it's job I let it beat, it's no mean feat No, it doesn't need to throb I suppose that I could love you If I wasn't so afraid, I might go berserk If it did work and I didn't feel betrayed I have writing off love for so long now That's all I know to do But if it's real this thing we feel Well, then yes, I could love you
