If You Had Told Me

If You Had Told Me                            August 24, 2009

If you had told me I'd love you, 

I wouldn't have believed you. 

Your ways are so crude, 

And mannerisms, so rude. 

If you had told me I'd love you, 

I wouldn't believe you, 

But now I do, 

And you're the best thing 

Yet to happen to me 

After all. 

You're a real smooth talker, 

A bonafide grandstander. 

You're a hell of a person, 

And that's putting it kindly. 

Yet, I love you, that much is true, 

And I don't know how I do, 

But Fair Fate has come and cast a spell, 

And what the hell? 

I guess God had his way. 

If you had told me I'd love you, 

I might have called you charleton. 

Unlikely, perhaps, 

But now we're lovers wrestling 

All over the bed. 

If you had told me I'd love you, 

I'd have said you're nuts, 

But instead, we're a match, 

Perhaps from Heaven, but probably of Hell.
