if you love me

Elvis Costello

The fluctuating worth of this very terminal earth
And the satellite that glows at night above me
Won't bear upon my mind
But concerning womankind
I donÂ?t care if youÂ?re there
If you love me

The seed must die, I know
Before new life can grow
And so will I die before I let you go

So let the north wind blow
Let the seasons come and go
Let time gone by just die
Like that old part of I
Again the sun may rise and burn through yellow skies
But I'll see it through your blue eyes
If you love me

The seed must die, I know
Before new life can grow
And so will I die if you don't love
(If you love me)

I'll see in your eyes
If it's true or if itÂ?s lies
But I'll see it if itÂ?s real
If you love me

If you love me
(If you love me)
