I'll Be That Girl

Words & Music by Stephen Duffy & Steven Page



If I were you (and I wish that I were you),

All the things I'd do to make myself turn blue

I suppose I'd start by removing all my clothes,

tie my pantyhose around my neck



I'll be that girl -- and you would be right over

If I were a field, you would be in clover

If I were the sun, you would be in shadow

And if I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow



If you will not have me as myself,

perhaps as someone else

Perhaps as you I'll be worth noticing

Then even a eunuch won't resist

The magic of a kiss from such as me



I'll be that girl -- and you would be right over

If I were a field, you would be in clover

If I were the sun, you would be in shadow

If I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow



It's time to kick off your shoes,

learn how to choose sadness

It's time to throw off those chains,

addle our brains with madness



'Cause we've got plenty of time

to grow old and die

But when at last your beauty's faded

you'll be glad that I have waited for you



When you're done

with being beautiful and young

When that course is run, then come to me



I'll be that girl -- and you would be right over

If I were a field, you would be in clover

If I were the sun, you would be in shadow

If I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
