If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true
And help me understand, 'cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you, I must be sure
From the very start that you would love me more than her
If I trust in you, oh, please, don't run and hide
If I love you too, oh, please, don't hurt my pride like her

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain and I would be sad
If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you and that she will cry
When she learns we are two

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain and I would be sad
If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you and that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you.

Vocals: John & Paul

Notes: The fact that John sings this song to Ringo in A Hard Day's Night
just adds to its already blatant slashiness.
