For the Possible Life of One Eleanor Rigby

Shoot me to death with pearls
or cut my throat with a diamond;
because I’m yours to have but not to hold.

But if I tell him I love him, 
then I’m at his mercy.

I just want to know if he could love 
me.

I don’t want a singer to croon this love away,
I don’t need a musician to tune all this into another day…

Hang me around your 
neck.

I didn’t like it when you touched me that way.

But if I tell him I love 
him, then I’m at his mercy.

I just want to know if he could love 
me.
