If You Ask Me

IF YOU ASK ME

If you ask me I’d say it wasn’t true

I would look you in the eyes and lie straight face to you

Underneath those soft white sheets

your hands are cold

If you ask me I’d say it was a big mistake

nothing tragic, we always played it safe

I wanted something passionate and sweet

a treehouse in the woods where we could meet

Like a red sky at night

when the fat lady sings

why do we cross the road

tell me, why do we cross the road?

If you ask me it’s all said and done

safe as a kid with a gun

we all want something on the street

tell me babe, what do you want from me?

Like a red sky at night

when the fat lady sings

why do we cross the road

tell me, why do we cross the road?
