If I had my way
every day would be my day
I would ask you out
you would say "okay!"
and I'd come get you at 8
8 'o clock right on the dot
'cause sometimes when i am late
then i can't get you to talk
and it ruins our whole date

and if i had my way we'd go out every night
it'd be perfect every time and we'd never ever fight
you know, you used to call me up when you were high
and I never ever asked you
so you never told me why

your hair is green, your hair is pink
my head is young
my heart can't think
I drive my car, I ride the bus
I stay too long
I ask too much
Your hair was black
'til it was blue
i always had
a crush on you
you dye it back
when you need to
i'm still deciding what to do

but if i had my way,
i would ask you to the prom
you would want to meet my mom
and you wouldn't even tease me
for rhyming words in my songs
'cause i wrote those songs about you
but i hope you understand
that they were actually about me
and i hope that you're not mad

cause if i had my way you'd kiss me on the lips
and you'd wear that dress you like
and i'd wear the suit that fits
