If I Were Lyrics
If I were a poet, I would write a sonnet
It would say I love you, your name would be on it
If I were a farmer, I'd give you a bunny
If I had a beehive, you would get free honey
Fa la la, la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
Fa la la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la
If I were a baker, you could have a cruller
If I were a painter, choose your favorite color
If I had some diamonds, I'd give you a few
Anything to show you how much I love you
Fa la la, la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
Fa la la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la
Did you guess my secret? I am not a poet
Couldn't write a sonnet, and I think you know it
I am not a farmer, can't give you a bunny
I don't have a beehive, sorry 'bout the honey
Fa la la, la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
Fa la la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la
I am not a baker, don't know bread from batter
And I'm not a painter, and it doesn't matter
I don't a present, all I have to do
Is look at you to show you how much I love you
Fa la la, la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
Fa la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la
It would say I love you, your name would be on it
If I were a farmer, I'd give you a bunny
If I had a beehive, you would get free honey
Fa la la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la
If I were a painter, choose your favorite color
If I had some diamonds, I'd give you a few
Anything to show you how much I love you
Fa la la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la
Couldn't write a sonnet, and I think you know it
I am not a farmer, can't give you a bunny
I don't have a beehive, sorry 'bout the honey
Fa la la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la
And I'm not a painter, and it doesn't matter
I don't a present, all I have to do
Is look at you to show you how much I love you
Fa la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la
