Songtexte Single Rose - Bert Jansch

What if I say that you're so pretty?
The prettiest girl I've ever seen
A single rose of sheer perfection
My beauty queen my heavenly dream
Would it make you angry if
I talked out of time?
Would I look a fool?
By being so presumptuous
Will I be a clown?
Yes, the one to ridicule...
And if I say that you're so pretty,
Would it be uncouth?
Underneath you're probably a
Bitchy little lady
Who's looking for a wealth of men
Someone who'll wait on you
Drive you on his limousine
Take you out to dine
On caviar, wine
Give you such a swell old time
But I can't help thinking how beautiful you are...
Like a high society lady, so aloof
And looking like a movie star...
What if I say that I love you,
Would it be uncouth?

What if I say that you're so pretty?
The prettiest girl I've ever seen
A single rose of sheer perfection
My beauty queen my heavenly dream
Would it make you angry if
I talked out of time?
Would I look a fool?
By being so presumptuous
Will I be a clown?
Yes, the one to ridicule...
What if I say that I love you,
Would it be uncouth?
