If we were children I would 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 you, babe, had you Oh what I wouldn't do If I had you, babe
If I were old, my dearest, would be older But I would crawl upon your lap Wrap a blanket ‘round our frail little shoulders And I'd die 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, 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 will sing, I will sing
It was now and we both in the same place Didn't know how to say the words With my ticking like a bomb in a birdcage I left before someone got hurt
Oh what I wouldn't do If I had you, babe, had you Oh what I wouldn't do If I had you, babe, if I had you
