Lyrics:
If I was a cradle then you’d let me rock
If I was a pony then you’d let me trot
If I was the atom then you’d split me into three
But when I want to see you, baby
How come you lock your door on me?
If I was a baby you wouldn’t let me fall
If I was an outlaw you wouldn’t have me caught
If I was a tiger you wouldn’t have me caged
If I was somebody else you would act your age
You’ll miss out if you leave me out of your day and night
I will try to make you see and hear what I got to say

It’s all about me and you, alright
If I was a blind man then you’d make me see
If I was a deaf man you’d give me hears to hear
If I was a lame man you’d give me legs to walk
But if you were true to me, baby
You would listen when I talk
If I was a cradle then you’d let me rock
If I was a pony then you’d let me trot
If I was the atom then you’d split me into three
But when I want to see you, baby
How come you lock your door on me?
