If I was your dog for a day, Would you walk me twice, three times four or more? Ask me to stay I wouldn't move All my love would be for you If I was your cat, If I was your cat Would you know that I knew best While curled up on your chest you wouldn't move You'd want all the love that I had left If I was yours, If I was yours, If I was yours But no, no I'll never be But you, you can borrow me For a while If I was snake if I was your snake Would you wear me proudly round your neck With one simple squeeze I'd suffocate your love of fools So weak and so untrue If I was your bird, if I was your bird Would you keep me in a cage? You'd hear every loving song I sang for me and you Oh but those songs they would be so blue If I was yours, If I was yours, If I was yours But no, no I'll never be But you, you can borrow me For a while
