If I weren’t such a well off woman
And fear and abuse was all I had known
Would you still hold me close to reassure?
Would you still call me your own?
If I didn’t have the health
And my body was poor and lame
Would you still help me off my feet?
Would you still love me just the same?
If I was stubborn
And kept pushing you away
Would you still keep coming back?
Would you still love the words I say?
If I was from a different crowd
And the things I did just got to you
Would you still think of me the same?
Would you still support the things I do?
If I had an undesirable history
And the effects seemed to last
Would you still look in my eyes?
Would you forget about my past?
If I didn’t have the looks
And I was ugly to the eye
Would you still call me beautiful?
Would you, without one word of a lie?
If I had no house
And the land around me was home
Would you still stand by my side?
Would you still follow where I roamed?
If we had never met
And it was never meant to be
Would I still be on your mind?
Would you still dream of a woman like me?
Sometimes I wonder
What you really think about
Will you stay with me no matter what?
Can you say that to me, without any doubt
if you dont understand the 2nd to last verse, it means hypothetically.
