Lyrics:
If I was
If I was a loaded gun
You might
Treat me better, pull my trigger, cradle my barrel, keep me safe outta the sun
Might polish all of my metal, give me your secrets, hold me till the battle was done
That’s the way it would go, my own true love
That’s the way it would go
That’s the way it would go, my own true love
That’s the way it would go

If I was
If I was a painted doll
You might
Shine my locket, keep me in your pocket, shake my rattle & promise that you’d never let go
Dress me tender, bring me out of weather, o my great collector, ribbons round our fingers like so
That’s the way it would go, my own true love
That’s the way it would go
That’s the way it would go, my own true love
That’s the way it would go

If I was
If I was a golden coin
You might Know how to heed me, o you might seek me, praise me as you promised & love me with fear in your eyes
Keep workin’ mornin’ till the evenin’, laborin’ & hopin’ I would be your hard-won prize
Back breakin’, dreamin’ of the takin, givin’ me whatever your body’s got until it dies
Might listen, try to keep me hidden, I would be your center but darlin’, you would never be mine
That’s the way it would go, my own true love
That’s the way it would go
That’s the way it would go, my own true love
That’s the way it would go
That’s the way it would go, my own true love
That’s the way it would go

If I was something you could buy or you could sell
