MAYBE IF I SANG COLE PORTER

Maybe if my heels were higher
Maybe if I grew my hair
Maybe if I wore those Spanish earrings
Maybe you would see I care
Maybe if I snuck up on a rainbow
Maybe if I snared the stars
You'd maybe turn your head in my direction
And see the perfect pair we are
But my heart's begun to sink again some
I've had these kinds of dreams before
I drank your favourite drink and then some
But that just made me want you more
I'd balance candelabras on my forehead
Disrupt the royal family at tea
I'd swim Niagara falls, swim any falls at all
To make you fall in love with me
Maybe if I spoke some football
Maybe if I waxed my car
Maybe if I chewed tobacco
Believe me I would go that far
But maybe if I sang Cole Porter
Sang those ballads tenderly
Then maybe you would see
How happy we could be
And maybe fall in love with me
And maybe fall in love with me
