[fs]
You might have belonged to another,
We might never have met!
You might have chosen another,
For you a much better bet!
You could have married a captain
Of a luxury ship at sea;
There was a wizard at polo,
What a socialite he!
Remember the movie director
Who made five thousand a week,
And there was a diamond collector
Who had the same technique!
You knew a prince, a duke and a lord,
You had your choice of the three;
You might have belonged to another,
By luck you settled for me!
[ch]
You might have belonged to another,
We might never have met!
You might have chosen another,
For you a much better bet!
[pp]
And then you know that you could have married the daughter
Of a Wall Street financier,
And I know you remember the devil at glamour,
Glamour and a brilliant career!
Remember the movie director,
Made five thousand a week,
And there was a diamond collector
Who had the same technique!
[fs]
You knew a prince, a duke and a lord,
You had your choice of the three;
(pp)
You might have belonged to another,
By luck
(fs)
You settled for me,
(all)
By luck you settled for me!
