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… |
