If perhaps I'd been a little distant
If I tried to play a little hard to get
Do you think you might have fallen in love?

If I’d been a trifle, inconsistent
If I hadn't let you light each cigarette
Do you think you might have fallen in love?

And if I'd worn my hair the way you like hair worn
Would I’ve been more appealing?
Had my chin been stronger, had my kisses lasted longer
Would I've inspired that 'I adore her' feeling?

If I'd been little more attractive
Had my pounding heart not been so overactive
Would you have melted in my arms
Like some meek, sweet adolescent lad?

What a fool I was to ever dream
That someday you could love me
Just the way I am
