  • If you were a cowboy I would trail you
    If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
    If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore

    If you were a river I would swim you
    If you were a house I would live in you all my days
    If you were a preacher I'd begin to change my ways

    Sometimes I believe in fate
    But the chances we create
    Always seem to ring more true
    You took a chance on loving me
    I took a chance on loving you

    If I was in jail I know you'd spring me
    If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long
    If I was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs

    Sometimes I believe in fate
    But the chances we create
    Always seem to ring more true
    You took a chance on loving me
    I took a chance on loving you

    If I was hungry you would feed me
    If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
    If I was a book I know you'd read me every night

    If you were a cowboy I would trail you
    If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
    If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore
    If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore

  • Sarah from Brandon, MbI find this song quite catchy and flowy, and yet at the same time the lyrics are the oposite which makes the song lovable. And to top things off I LOVE Katie Melua and all her music. Just her voice alone is amazing
