Lyrics
If I was a plane
Baby I could fly us
up, on, out of here
if I was a rich man
Baby I could buy us
Houses everywhere
But I'm just me
I haven't much to give you
But I can make you happy
If I was a king
you'd sit right beside me
Make up all the rules
If I was a boat, baby I could sail us
Out into the moon
But I'm just me
And I haven't much to give you
But I can make you happy
Everytime I kiss you
Tenderly
(repeat)
