If


If she'd try, she'd know.
If she could, she'd go.
If she knew love, she'd have some to show.
But she won't, she can't, and she doesn't.

If she cared, she'd yearn.
If she was taught, she'd learn.
If she knew, she'd burn.
But she won't, she wasn't, and she doesn't.

If she could, she would.
If she can, she should.
If she did, she'd do good.
But she wasn't, she can't, and she doesn't.

If she'd seek, she'd find.
If it didn't bother her, she wouldn't mind.
If she was shown, she'd be kind.
But she won't, she doesn't, and she wasn't.
