Lyrics I'll Be That Girl - Barenaked Ladies, David Leonard

I'll Be That Girl

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 panty hose 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.
If I had a gun, there’d be no tomorrow.
If you will not have me as myself
Perhaps there’s someone else.
Perhaps there’s you.
I’ll be worth noticing.
Then even you wouldn’t resist
The magic of a kiss from such is me.
(Chorus)
It’s time to kick off your shoes.
Let out all your sadness.
It’s time to throw off those chains,
Out all our brains with madness
Because we’ve got plenty of time to grow old and die
But when your flashing beauty’s faded.
You’ll be glad that I have waited for you.
When your done with being beautiful and young.
When that course has run.
Then come to me.
I’ll be that girl.
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.
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.
