[Jacqui:] How I've looked for someone who
plays upon my heart like you.
Tall and dark and handsome and sweet.
Someone who would take my heart,
maybe tear my soul apart,
see, I lay myself at your feet.

You would if you could,
you would and you should
and you would if you could,
[Bill spoken:] But I can't
[Jacqui:] I'm sure that you can,
I know you're a man,
and you would if you could,
[Bill spoken:] But I shan't.
[Jacqui:] When you're a bad boy
you go my way,
but you're a good boy
and so you say regretfully.
you would, if you could,
you could and you should,
and you would if you could.
[Bill spoken:] Naw! It's impossible.

[Bill sings:] I might put my arms round you,
do the things that most men do;
men not so highminded as I.
I can't do that caveman stuff,
sock 'em hard and treat 'em rough,
mother wouldn't like me to try.
[Jacqui:] You would if you could,
you would and you should
and you would if you could,
[Bill spoken:] But I don't.
[Jacqui:] I'm sure that you do
just look at the view,
and you would if you could,
[Bill:] but I won't.
[Jacqui:] You're like an apple
on top of the tree,
I'd like to shake you
I'd like to see you falling for me.
[Bill:] I would if I could,
[Jacqui:] Bill! you could
and you should
and you would if you could, Bill.
[Bill spoken:] And I wwwII really think
it's out of the question!
