Little Women movie - Could You? lyrics
rate me<br>
Aunt March: (spoken) <br>
We earn our dreams in this world Josephine. Ha. <br>
It's foolish of me to think you could ever change your ways.<br>
<br>
Jo: (spoken) <br>
I could try. <br>
<br>
Aunt March: (singing) <br>
You could never bend your will, you could never follow through. <br>
You could never bite your tongue, though your tongue may split in two. <br>
If you want to live your dreams, these are things you have to do! <br>
How could you change? You can't. Not you. <br>
<br>
Jo: (spoken) <br>
I could change if I wanted to.<br>
<br>
Aunt March: (singing) <br>
could you practice self control? Could you possibly be shy? <br>
Could you wear a corset tight in the heat of mid-July? <br>
These are rules you must obey, every one which you defy! You'll never change!<br>
You won't. That's why. <br>
Yet somewhere deep within my heart I do believe, you could captivate the world. <br>
If you could change there is so much you could achieve. <br>
In time you could succeed and travel very far indeed. You could be beguiling!<br>
<br>
Jo: (singing) <br>
charming me? <br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
someone well mannered, a model of grace. Learn the art of smiling!<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
That could be hard.<br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
It isn't very hard!! For someone full of dreams like you, <br>
if you work you'll find there's nothing you can't do!<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
So if I change we'll go to Paris?<br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
Change completely or don't waste my time!<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
If I change we'll stop in Antwerp?<br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
Gracious living will make you sublime.<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
If I change you'll take me to Zurich?<br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
Every city from Dublin to Kahn!<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
Sure thee with your guidance I can learn to use feminine wild with alarm! <br>
I could be beguiling. <br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
Ah ah ah<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
Ah ah ah <br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
Ah ah ah ah<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
I could learn to charm a donkey for a chance to see the world. <br>
Learn the art of smiling!<br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah<br>
<br>
Both: <br>
Ah ah ah ah ah!<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
I could button up my mind and keep my thoughts perfumed and burned. <br>
Yes I surely think I could. <br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
If you could that would be good. <br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
There's nothing that I wouldn't suffer to see the world! <br>
I can do it if I try. I can do it by sheer will. <br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
All you have to do is work to acquire any skill. <br>
<br>
Both: <br>
These are things a girl must do whe she has dreams she must fulfill!<br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
Change how you walk and how you talk. <br>
Change how you think and how you are.<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
I'll hold my breath and hold my tongue, do what it takes to travel far!<br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
Could you?<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
Ah ah ah ah ah<br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
Could you?<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
Ah ah ah ah ah<br>
<br>
Aunt March: <br>
Could you?<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
AH ah ah ahaa ah ah ah ah ahhhhh! Yes I could!<br>
<br>
Aunt March:<br>
Good!<br>
<br>
