lyrics

That I Wouldn't Do
We were falling apart, we fell away
I had dreams of seeing some better days
But, look at us now, I can't believe
That all of our routines have changed in a heartbeat
And if you ask me to stay, I will
If you ask me to fly, I will
There's nothing you could ask of me
That I wouldn't do
I don't expect much, never got my hopes up high
But if you're giving me a chance to make you happy, the least I could do is try
Still things could change a little, I know, and only in a matter of days
That's why even though I'm happy now
I'm always prepared to say
That if you want me to go, I will
If you ask me to fly, I will
There's nothing you could ask of me
That I wouldn't do
Take my heart you take my mind, take my body, baby, if you got the time,
Well there's a little bit of lovin' for you to share, and if you want me to,
I'm gonna take you there, well I want to know what you're feeling
Alone before you call me on the telephone, I want to hold you all
Through the night, kiss and tell you it's going to be alright
And if you ask me to stay, I will,
If you ask me to fly I will
There's nothing you could ask of me
That I wouldn't do
