If I wanted to I could do anything right
I could dance with the devil on a Saturday night
If I wanted to I could turn matches to gold
Smoke drink swear and I would never grow old

I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to
If I only wanted to

If I wanted to I could run fast as a train
Be as sharp as a needle that's twisting your brain
If I wanted to I could turn mountains to sand
Have political leaders in the palm of my hand

I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to
If I only wanted to

I could leave tonight and I would be all right
Stop holding on if I wanted to if I only wanted to
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

If I wanted to I could be as patient as death
Fix this hole in my heart leaking into my flesh
If I wanted to I could turn sparks into ice
There'd never be another woman who could make you think twice

I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to
Hey, if I only wanted to

Hey, if I only wanted to
Hey, if I only wanted to

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Oh hey if I  wanted to
Hey hey hey if I wanted to
Hey hey hey if I wanted to

If I wanted to
Oh, oh, oh
