Week Sixty-Seven: Boys Soundtrack - Squeeze - "If I Didn't Love You" - Soundtrack

So back in 1996, Winona Ryder co-starred with Lukas Haas in the film, Boys. The film was completely underwhelming, but the soundtrack was phenomenal; so I am going to cover four of the tracks from the soundtrack over the course of this week!!!

*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*

This is a super-groovy Squeeze tune, but it's not the only one that appears on a soundtrack. If you have ever seen Reality Bites, you may recall the scene where Winona and Janeane are driving around with the windows down, smoking cigarettes, and blasting the song, "Tempted". That scene just about epitomizes my entire high school and early college existence; therefore, I will include that clip below the lyrics.

However, my all-time favorite Squeeze song is actually "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)"; so I'm definitely including that one to take you into the weekend...


If I didn't love you I'd hate you 
Watching you play in the bath 
A soap suds stickle back navy 
A scrubbing brush landing craft 
Your skin gets softer and warmer 
I pat you down with a towel 
Tonight it's love by the fire 
My mind goes out on the prowl 
If I If I If I If I If I If I If I

If I didn't love you I'd hate you 
I'm playing your stereogram 
Singles remind me of kisses 
Albums remind me of plans 
Tonight it's love by the fire 
The wind plays over the coals 
Passionate looks are my fancy 
But you turn the look into stone 
If I If I If I If I If I If I If I

If I didn't love you 
Would you sit and glow by the fire 
If I didn't love you 
Would you make me feel so 
Maybe love me 
Oh if I didn't love you mmm
If I If I If I If I If I If I If I If I

If I didn't love you I'd hate you 
Cocoa mugs sit side by side 
It's time to poke at the fire 
But it's not tonight looks I find 
Taking a bite on a biscuit 
The record jumps on a scratch 
Tonight it's love by the fire 
The door of your love's on the latch 
If I If I If I If I If I If I If I

If I didn't love you 
Would you sit and glow by the fire 
If I didn't love you 
Would you make me feel so 
Maybe love me 
Oh if I didn't love you 
Would you sit and glow by the fire 
If I didn't love you 
Would you make me feel so
Maybe love me 
Oh if I didn't love you mmm

If I, if I, if I if I 
Didn't, didn't, didn't 
Love you, love you, love you
