What I Wouldn't Do

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

Cause it was what I wouldn't do

I had you, babe, I had you

It was what I wouldn't do

When I had you, babe, when I had you
