"If I Fell" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1964)

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand?

'cos 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.

'cos 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 learned we are two.

'cos 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 learned we are two.

If I fell in love with you.
