If  you were a cowboy i would trail  you,
if  you were a piece of wood i'd nail  you to the floor,
if  you were a sailboat i would sail  you to the shore,
if  you were a river i would swim  you,
if  you were a house i would live  in you all my days,
if  you were a preacher i'd begin  to change my ways,
sometimes  i believe in fate
 but the chances we create,
 always seem to ring more true,
you  took a chance on loving me,
 i took a chance on loving you
if  i was in jail i know you'd spring  me,
if  i were a telephone you'd ring  me all day long,
if  i was in pain i know you'd sing  me soothing songs,
sometimes  i believe in fate
 but the chances we create,
 always seem to ring more true,
you  took a chance on loving me,
 i took a chance on loving you
if  i was hungry you would feed  me,
if  i was in darkness you would lead  me to the light,
if  i was a book i know you'd read  me every night,
If  you were a cowboy i would trail  you,
if  you were a piece of wood i'd nail  you to the floor,
if  you were a sailboat i would sail  you to the shore,
if  you were a sailboat i would sail  you to the shore,
