It Would Have Been Wonderful
A Little Night Music

I should never have gone to the theater

Then I'd never have come to the country

If I never had come to the country

Matters might have stayed as they were


Sir, sir, if she'd only been faded, if she'd only been fat

If she'd only been jaded and bursting with chat

If she'd only been perfectly awful

It would have been wonderful


If, if, if she'd been on a twitter or elusively cold

If she'd only been bitter or better, looked passably old

If she'd been covered with glitter or even been covered with mold

It would have been wonderful


But the woman was perfection to my deepest dismay

Well, not quite perfection, I'm sorry to say

If the woman were perfection, she would go away

And that would be wonderful


Sir, sir, if she'd only looked flustered or admitted the worst

If she only had blustered or simpered or cursed

If she weren't so awfully perfect

It would have been wonderful


If, if, if she'd tried to be clever, if she'd started to flinch

If she'd cried or whatever, a woman would do in a pinch

If I'd been certain she never again could be trusted an inch

It would have been wonderful


But the woman was perfection, not an action denied

The kind of perfection I cannot abide

If the woman were perfection, she'd have simply lied

Which would have been wonderful


If she'd only been vicious, if she'd acted abused

Or a bit too delicious, or been even slightly confused

If she had only been sulky or bristling, or bulky, or bruised

It would have been wonderful


If, if, if she'd only been willful, if she only had fled

Or a little less skillful, insulted, insisting in bed

If she had only been fearful or married, or tearful, or dead

It would have been wonderful


But the woman was perfection and the prospects are grim

That lovely perfection that nothing can dim

Yes, the woman was perfection so I'm here with him

Sir, sir, it would have been wonderful
