If I were a piece of shit I'd dig myself and I'd put me in it If I were a piece of shit I'd dig myself and I'd put me in a hole Ooh, am I cruel or kind Will you hold me by your side And look away If I were a piece of gold I'd sell myself a buy a new one If I were a piece of gold I'd sell myself and buy a new desire Ooh, should I run and hide Will you let me come inside And look away If I were a piece of lead I'd melt me down and swallow deeply If I were a piece of lead I'd melt me down and eat myself alive Ooh, should I laugh or cry Will you keep me in your mind And look away If I were a piece of leather I'd wrap me up and I'd tar and feather If I were a piece of leather I'd wrap me up and I'd put me in a hole
