If I Wanted To

If I wanted to I could do anything right

I could dance with the devil on a

Saturday night

If I wanted to I could turn matches to gold

I could smoke drink swear and I would never

grow old

I wouldn't have to be in love with you

If I only wanted to

If I only wanted to



If I wanted to I could run fast as a train

Be as sharp as a needle that's twisting your brain

If I wanted to I could turn mountains to sand

Have political leaders in the palm of my hand

I wouldn't have to be in love with you

If I only wanted to

If I only wanted to



I could leave tonight

And I would be all right

Stop holding on

If I wanted to

If I only wanted to



If I wanted to I could be as patient as death

Fix this hole in my heart leaking into my flesh

If I wanted to I could turn sparks into ice

There'd never be another woman who could make you

think twice

I wouldn't have to be in love with you

If I only wanted to

If I only wanted to
