If I treated you like dirt
If I couldn't cope with pain
If I hated all the world
Would you care for me then?
If I bent myself to task
Of becoming someone else
Maybe finally I'd be
Just about as special as he

Then would you love me?

If I learned to talk like him
If I suffered just as he
If I always ran away
And denied reality
If I bent myself to task
Of becoming someone else
Might I finally be too
Someone special just for you?

Then would you love me?

If I showed you all my dreams
If I stared at you stunned
If I opened myself up
To fly closer to the sun
If I gave you all my trust
If I tore down all my walls
Do you think that you could see
Something special about me?

Then would you love me?
