If You Could See Her

[EMCEE]
I know what you're thinking
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world
That's just a first impression
What good's a first impression?
If you knew her like I do
It would change your point of view

If you could see her through my eyes
You wouldn't wonder at all
If you could see her through my eyes
I guarantee you would fall
Like I did
When we're in public together
I hear society moan
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd leave us alone

How can I speak of her virtues?
I don't know where to begin:
She's clever, she's smart, she reads music
She doesn't smoke or drink gin
Like I do
Yet when we're walking together
They sneer if I'm holding her hand
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd all understand

(spoken)
Liebchen!

(sung)
I understand your objection
I grant you the problem's not small
But if you could see her through my eyes
She wouldn't look Jewish at all
