If I Wanted To

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 I could 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 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 If I only wanted to
