I'd Never Love Someone (Bracia's Ballad)

I'd never love someone
Whose eyes can see right through me
Whose charms aim to confuse me
For you do not amuse me
I'd never love someone
Who flouts polite convention
I know not your intention
As if I'm your invention
Well, I'm not, sir

Why must you disarm me like you do?

How could I love someone who makes me so uncertain?
I don't know my own person
I'm lost in your diversions
How could I love someone
Who flirts and then forgets me
Whose soul can possess me?
My mind, it does protest me
I'm a fool

Why can't you just love me like I do you?
Why can't you just love me like I do?

I'd throw it all away
Give into passion's play
Turn the tables upside down
Immolate this gilded gown
I'd run away with you
I'd start my life anew
I'd throw away my reputation
If only you would love me like I do you
I'd never love someone
How could I love someone?

Why can't you just love me like I do you?
Why can't you just love me like I do you?
