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
