What I Wouldn't Do

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 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
