Lyrics
Ask me how do I feel now that we're cozy and clinging
Well, sir, all I can say is if I were a bell I'd be ringing
From the moment we kissed goodnight
That's the way I just gotta behave
And if I were a lamp I'd light
Or if I were a banner I'd wave
Ask me how do I feel
Little me with my quiet upbringing
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a gate I'd be swinging
And if I were a watch I'd start popping my spring
Oh, and if I were a bell
I'd go, "Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding!"
Ask me how do I feel
From this chemistry lesson I'm learning
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a bridge I'd be burning
Well, I knew my morale would crack
From the wonderful way you looked
Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack
Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked
Ask me how do I feel
Now that we're fondly caressing
Pal, if I were a salad
I know I'd be splashing my dressing
Or if I were a season, I'd surely be spring, yes
And if I were a bell
Say if I were a bell
If I were a bell I'd go, "Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding!"
