Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
From the moment we kissed goodnight
That's the way I've just gotta behave
And if I were a lamp, I'd light
Or if I were a banner, I'd wave
[Verse 3]
Ask me how do I feel
Little me with the quiet upbringing
Well, sir, all I can say is
If I were a gate, I'd be swinging
[Chorus]
And if I were a watch
I'd start popping my springs, oh
And if I were a bell I'd go
Ding-dong-ding-dong-ding
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Well, I knew my moral 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
[Bridge]
Ask me how do I feel
Now that we're fondly caressing
Well, if I were a salad
I know I'd be splashing my dressing
[Chorus]
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
