If I were you (and I wish that I were you)
All the things I'd do to make myself turn blue
I suppose I'd start by removing all my clothes,
tie my pantyhose around my neck
I'll be that girl - and you would be right over
If I were a field, you would be in clover
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow
And if I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
If you will not have me as myself,
perhaps as someone else
Perhaps as you I'll be worth noticing
Then even a eunuch won't resist
The magic of a kiss from such as me
It's time to kick off your shoes,
learn how to choose sadness
It's time to throw off those chains,
?
addle our brains
with madness
'Cause we've got plenty of time
?
to grow old and die
But when at last your beauty's faded,
you'll be glad that I have waited for you
When you're done
with being beautiful and young
When that course is run, then come to me
