Could You? lyrics Soundtrack: Little Women
Aunt March: (spoken)
We earn our dreams in this world Josephine. Ha.
It's foolish of me to think you could ever change your ways.

Jo: (spoken)
I could try.

Marmee: (singing)
You could never bend your will, you could never follow through.
You could never bite your tongue, though your tongue may split in two.
If you want to live your dreams, these are things you have to do!
How could you change? You can't. Not you.

Jo: (spoken)
I could change if I wanted to.

Marmee: (singing)
could you practice self control? Could you possibly be shy?
Could you wear a corset tight in the heat of mid-July?
These are rules you must obey, every one which you defy! You'll never change!
You won't. That's why.
Yet somewhere deep within my heart I do believe, you could captivate the world.
If you could change there is so much you could achieve.
In time you could succeed and travel very far indeed. You could be beguiling!

Jo: (singing)
charming me?

Marmee:
someone well mannered, a model of grace. Learn the art of smiling!

Jo:
That could be hard.

Marmee:
It isn't very hard!! For someone full of dreams like you,
if you work you'll find there's nothing you can't do!

Jo:
So if I change we'll go to Paris?

Marmee:
Change completely or don't waste my time!

Jo:
If I change we'll stop in Antwerp?

Marmee:
Gracious living will make you sublime.

Jo:
If I change you'll take me to Zurich?

Marmee:
Every city from Dublin to Kahn!

Jo:
Sure thee with your guidance I can learn to use feminine wild with alarm!
I could be beguiling.

Marmee:
Ah ah ah

Jo:
Ah ah ah

Marmee:
Ah ah ah ah

Jo:
I could learn to charm a donkey for a chance to see the world.
Learn the art of smiling!

Marmee:
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah

Both:
Ah ah ah ah ah!

Jo:
I could button up my mind and keep my thoughts perfumed and burned.
Yes I surely think I could.

Marmee:
If you could that would be good.

Jo:
There's nothing that I wouldn't suffer to see the world!
I can do it if I try. I can do it by sheer will.

Marmee:
All you have to do is work to acquire any skill.

Both:
These are things a girl must do whe she has dreams she must fulfill!

Marmee:
Change how you walk and how you talk.
Change how you think and how you are.

Jo:
I'll hold my breath and hold my tongue, do what it takes to travel far!

Marmee:
Could you?

Jo:
Ah ah ah ah ah

Marmee:
Could you?

Jo:
Ah ah ah ah ah

Marmee:
Could you?

Jo:
AH ah ah ahaa ah ah ah ah ahhhhh! Yes I could!

Marmee:
Good!
