With Apologies to Sandi Thom

To the faceless one:

I’ll take you on a journey
And be there till the end
It won't be an uphill struggle
On me you can depend
 
I promised you a dream home
With roses round the door
I’ll cover you in diamonds
There's nothing I want more
And
I’ll be strong
And I’ll turn you on
But you’ve got your doubts and what if you’re right?
I’ll be true and be faithful too
But you’ve got your doubts and what if you’re right?
What if I'm right?
 
'cos if the rain starts falling
I’ll protect you with my coat
And I’ll always tape the football
And let you watch you soap
 
I’ll always be as handsome
And my weight will never gain
And when you give birth to our children
You will feel no pain
And
I’ll bring you flowers
And I’ll bring the showers
But you’ve got your doubts and what if you’re right?
I’ll say you’re thin and bring the washing in
But you’ve got your doubts and what if you’re right?
What if I'm right?
 
I’ll always keep the magic
The tender love and care
And when you need to change the light bulb
I wont hand you the chair
And when we're tired of the city
And we find a country home
I’ll sell my vinyl records
And go get us a loan
 
I’ll be your sympathetic lover
And won't steal the covers
But you’ve got your doubts and what if you’re right?
I won't forsake you
My mother won't hate you
But you’ve got your doubts and what if you’re right?
I’ll be strong
And I’ll turn you on
But you’ve got your doubts and what if you’re right?
I’ll be true
And be faithful too
But you’ve got your doubts and what if you’re right?
What if I'm right?
