What I Wouldn't Do Lyrics - Bomb In A Birdcage - A Fine Frenzy

If we were children I would bake you a mud pie 

Warm and brown beneath the sun 

Never learned to climb a tree but I would try 

Just to show you what I'd done 

Oh what I wouldn't do 

If I had you, babe, I had you 

Oh what I wouldn't do 

If I had you, babe 

If I were old, my dearest, you would be older 

But I would crawl upon your lap 

Wrap a blanket round our frail little shoulders 

And I'd die happily like that 

Oh what I wouldn't do 

If I had you, babe, I had you 

Oh what I wouldn't do 

If I had you, babe, if I had you 

So lace your hands round the small of my back and I will kiss you like a king 

I will be your bride, I'll keep you warm at night 

I will sing, I will sing 

It was now and we were both in the same place 

Didn't know how to say the words 

With my heart ticking like a bomb in a birdcage 

I left before someone got hurt 

Cuz it was what I wouldn't do 

I had you, babe, I had you 

It was what I wouldn't do 

When I had you, babe, when I had you
