If I Were You Baby (I'd Love Me)
I got ten zillion dollars, and nothing to do
I own Central Park, and California, too
Chicago and Buffalo are my states
And I forgot to mention, the five Great Lakes
So, if I were you, baby, I'd love me
I'd have maids and butlers, a big trust fund
A hundred-carat ring, that weighs a ton
A yacht, planes, and nine special cooks
A thousand dresses, all new looks
So, if I were you, baby, I'd love me
Hard times and blues, I don't know what they are
Your trouble's spending money, and eating caviar
I don't pay tax 'cause, that's chicken feed
When the mint runs short, I ask them what they need
You're the greatest lover, the world has ever known
You're better than Gable, or that guy, Tyrone
I'll never find a guy like you, as long as I live
'Cause, when I give, I really give
So, if I were you, baby, I'd love me
I'm gonna pinch myself, to see if I'm awake
Before I give you, that golden wedding cake
Eeoow! I was asleep, so back to the job
For thirty bucks a week
Still, if I were you, baby, I'd love me
You'd hold the money
It don't mean a thing
That's my desire, so, let's have a fling
We must confess, to the stars above
Baby, can this be love?
Would like to go to Europe and Asia too
Anywhere on earth, if I could be with you
I'll do all these things for you, as long as I live
'Cause, when I really give, I really give
If I were you baby, I'd love me
I'm gonna pinch myself, to see if I'm awake
Before I give you, that golden wedding cake
Eeoow! I was asleep, so back to the job
For thirty bucks a week
Still, if I were you, baby, I'd love me
If I love you, and you love me
We'd be as happy as we could be
If I were you, I'd love me
I own Central Park, and California, too
Chicago and Buffalo are my states
And I forgot to mention, the five Great Lakes
So, if I were you, baby, I'd love me
I'd have maids and butlers, a big trust fund
A hundred-carat ring, that weighs a ton
A yacht, planes, and nine special cooks
A thousand dresses, all new looks
So, if I were you, baby, I'd love me
Hard times and blues, I don't know what they are
Your trouble's spending money, and eating caviar
I don't pay tax 'cause, that's chicken feed
When the mint runs short, I ask them what they need
You're the greatest lover, the world has ever known
You're better than Gable, or that guy, Tyrone
I'll never find a guy like you, as long as I live
'Cause, when I give, I really give
So, if I were you, baby, I'd love me
I'm gonna pinch myself, to see if I'm awake
Before I give you, that golden wedding cake
Eeoow! I was asleep, so back to the job

Still, if I were you, baby, I'd love me
If I love you, and you love me
We'd be as happy as we could be
If I were you, I'd love me
