If I Was Yours

If I was your dog for a day,

would you walk me twice, three times four or more?

ask me to stay I wouldn't move

all my love would be for you

If I was your cat, If I was your cat

would you know that I knew best

while curled up on your chest you wouldn't move

you'd want all the love that I had left

If I was yours, If I was yours, If I was yours

but no, no I'll never be

but you, you can borrow me

for a while

If I was snake if I was your snake

would you wear me proudly round your neck

with one simple squeeze I'd suffocate your love of fools

so weak and so untrue

If I was your bird, if I was your bird

would you keep me in a cage?

you'd hear every loving song I sang for me and you

oh but those songs they would be so blue

If I was yours, If I was yours, If I was yours

but no, no I'll never be

but you, you can borrow me

for a while
