If I Were

If I were a poet
I would write a sonnet
It would say "I love you"
Your name would be on it

If I were a farmer
I'd give you a bunny
If I had a beehive
You would get free honey
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

If I were a baker
You could have a cruller
If I were a painter
Choose your favorite color

If I had some diamonds
I'd give you a few
Anything to show you
How much I love you
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Did you guess my secret?
I am not a poet
Couldn't write a sonnet
And I think you know it

I am not a farmer
Can't give you a bunny
I don't have a beehive
Sorry 'bout the honey
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

I am not a baker
Don't know bread from batter
And I'm not a painter
And it doesn't matter

I don't need a present
All I have to do
Is look at you to show you
How much I love you
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
