Intro

    
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

Chorus

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

Verse

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

Chorus

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
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

Instrumental

   
When you're done
with being beautiful and young
When that course is run, then come to me

Chorus

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
There'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow
There'd be no tomorrow
