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
