If I Were A Carpenter |
If I was a carpenter |
And you were a lady |
Would you marry me anyway? |
Would you have my baby? |
If a tinker was my trade |
Would you tinker with me? |
Would you keep the vows we made |
Followin' behind me? |
And if I was Jesus |
And I built some crosses |
Could you see the future? |
Could stand the losses |
Of lovin' a carpenter |
And being a lady |
And takin' a chance on me |
Just to be my baby? |
Save my love through loneliness |
Save my love through sorrow, yes |
I’ll give you my onliness |
If you just give me tomorrow |
If I was a rock star |
Would you be my groupie? |
Would you make sweet love to me? |
Come to California? |
Well, I might go crazy |
I have to warn ya |
Well, I get so mean sometimes |
When the spirit’s on me |
That I think I’m Jesus |
Out buildin' crosses |
Could ya see the future? |
Could ya stand the losses? |
Of lovin' a carpenter |
And being a lady |
And takin' a chance on me |
Just to be my baby? |
Save my love through loneliness |
Save my love through sorrow, yeah |
I’ll give you my onliness |
If you’d only give me tomorrow |
And if I was Jesus |
And I built some crosses |
Could you see the future? |
Could stand the losses |
Of lovin' a carpenter |
And being a lady? |
Would ya take a chance on me? |
Would ya be my baby? |
Come take a chance on me |
Won’t you come away with me |
Come take a chance on me |
Won’t you be my baby? |
Won’t ya take a chance on me? |
Won’t ya be my baby? |
Won’t ya take a chance on me? |
Won’t ya be my… Ohh, be my… Ohhh |
… Be my… Ohhh… |
