Melissa Etheridge - If I Wanted To lyrics

If I wanted to I could do anything right

I could dance with the devil on a Saturday night

If I wanted to I could turn matches to gold

I could smoke, drink, swear and I would never grow old

I wouldn't have to be in love with you

If I only wanted to, babe, I only wanted to

If I wanted to I could run fast as a train

Be as sharp as a needle that's twisting your brain

If I wanted to I could turn mountains to sand

Have political leaders in the palm of my hand

I wouldn't have to be in love with you

If I only wanted to, hey, if I only wanted to

I could leave tonight, and I would be all right

Stop holding on if I wanted to, if I only wanted to

If I wanted to I could be as patient as death

Fix this hole in my heart leaking into my flesh

If I wanted to I could turn sparks into ice

There'd never be another woman

Who could make you think twice

I wouldn't have to be in love with you

If I only wanted to, yeah, if I only wanted to

Hey, if I only wanted to

Hey, if I only wanted to

If I only wanted to

If I only wanted to

If I only wanted to, if I only wanted to
