If we were children

I would bake you a mud pie

Warm and brown beneath the sun

Never learned to climb a tree but I would try

Just to show you what I'd done

Oh what I wouldn't do

If I had you babe I had you

Oh what I wouldn't do

If I had you babe

If I were old my dearest you would be older

But I would crawl upon your lap

Wrap a blanket 'round our frail little shoulders

And I'd die happily like that

Oh what I wouldn't do

If I had you babe I had you

Oh what I wouldn't do

If I had you babe if I had you

So lace your hands 'round the small of

my back and I will kiss you like a king

I will be your bride

I'll keep you warm at night

I will sing I will sing

It was now and we were both

in the same place

Didn't know how to say the words

With my heart ticking like a bomb

in a birdcage

I left before someone got hurt

It was what I wouldn't do

If I had you babe I had you

Oh what I wouldn't do

If I had you babe

if I had you
