if u were a cowboy i would trail u

if u were a piece of wood i would nail u to the floor

if u were a sailboat i would sail u to the shore

if u were a river i would swim u

if u were a house i would live in u all my days

if u were a preacher i would begin to change my ways

sometimes i belive in fate, but the chances we create,

always seem to ring more true...

u took a chance on loving me

i took a chance on loving u

if i was in jail i know u would spring me

if i was a telephone i know u would ring me all day long

if i was in pain i know u would sing me soothing songs

sometimes i belive in fate but the chances we create,

always seem to ring more true...

u took a chance on loving me

i took a chance on loving u

if i was hungry u would feed me

if i was in darkness u would lead me to the light, 

if i was a book i know u would read me every night
