I WOULD IF I COULD
(Johnny Madara / Dave White / Ray Gilmore) 


The Sweet Three - 1967
Marcie & The Cookies - 1968





Oh, why don't you find someone else to enjoy
You have so many to choose from
And you could have had someone else to destroy
I find you hard to shake loose from

Oh, I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't 
Say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Oh, you know I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't 
Even try, don't say goodbye

And when did you change from the sweet thing you were
When did you become such a stranger
I can't pretend you're the same as you were
But still I keep flirting with danger

Oh, you know I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't 
Say goodbye, don't say goodbye
And you know I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't 
Even try to say goodbye

Oh, I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't 
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Oh, you know I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't 
Don't even try to say goodbye......FADE
