Maybe you would love me
if I could sing like James Taylor.
Perhaps if my arms were bigger,
you would let me hold you in the cold.
If I didn't want to kiss you so badly,
maybe you would let me.
If I didn't do it right the first time
maybe I wouldn't feel so old.
If I didn't seem so eager
maybe you would treat me right.
If I didn't always tell the truth
maybe you'd see through the lies.
If I prayed to another God
would my dreams come true?
I wonder if I would feel like this
if I'd never looked in your eyes.
Maybe I wouldn't need you
If I smiled when you weren't around.
Maybe if I didn't try so hard
I wouldn't feel like a failure.
If I didn't care so much
maybe I would do just that.
Maybe I wouldn't want you
if I could sing like James Taylor.
