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

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
