If (Stomp)
Written by Iain Matthews/Richard Thompson
If I were rich enough, To make you need me as much as I need you If I could pitch enough You’d realize what a little country bread can do
Well, if my ma Had come that far And if my pa Was an old great big wig around our money town
If I were rich enough To give you anything within the manner that you’d been accustomed to If I could stitch enough I’d save you nine and throw in a daisy, too
Well, if I knew That you’d give me good times, too And if I knew Every loved one that I loved loved me, too
If I were rich enough To make you need me, too
If I were rich enough To see you pretty, looking like a scene I dreamed If you were bitch enough You’d leave me here, a king without a queen
Well, if you do If you leave your little boy blue If you do I’ll shut you out, you’ll shout and you’ll know it, too
If I were rich enough To have a pair of pants, a hat, and boot for every single day I wake And if I acted rough You’d want me more than just for wanting’s sake
Hm, that ain’t so I’ll always be this way Feelings grow To the time when the sun shines, then we’ll know
If I were rich enough To make you need me, too.
