If I Were U (Live at Mercury Lounge 4january1997 Nyc)

If lovin' was easy then I would be pleasin' you daily
My arms are not open when I'm holdin' on to the railing

I would just follow the rest of my friends if I were you
Lemming-like marching off all their dead ends
If I were you

After the rainfall and all of the pain fall decisions
Let's be productive
Let's not be reductive divisions

I would just follow the rest of my friends
If I were you
Lemming-like marching off all their dead ends
If I were you . . .

(Do, do, do)
(Do, do, do)
(If I, if I)
(Doot'n, dee, de, deet'n dow)
(Doot'n, dee, de, deet'n dow)
(Deeta, deeta, deeta, dow)
(Deeta, deeta, deeta, dow, deeta, deeta, deeta, dow)

I don't want emotional failure
I don't want a recount
I just want a moment to savor
It's just you and me count

It's lovin' made easy
Oh, don't make me queasy
I'm seasick
The sea keeps on pitching
I keep on ditching the feeling

I would be heeding the test of my friends if I were you
Well, mislead, won't follow, get out of my way, I'd if I were you
Not only hollow, the best of my friends, if I were true
Keep taking side trips before the road bends
If I were you

Oh, if I...
If I...
If I...
If I...
Oh, if I were king of the forest!

(Alright. Thanks a lot.)
