"I think maybe if I were a dog Then you would like me more Simple, playful, loyal, warm Oh, you would like me more But then I might dig up your flowerbeds Or shit on your floor And you would take me out You would take me out to the country again I think maybe if I were a cat Then you would like me more Independent, stealthy, sleek Oh, you would like me more But then I might scratch your furniture Or topple your plants And you would put me out You would put me out in the cold again I begin to lose track of all these parts I play for you I'll make up a new face so maybe I can stay with you I think maybe if I were a bird Then you would like me more Lovely, captive, feeble, small Oh, you would like me more But then I might screech too loudly Or peck at your eyes And you would set me free You would set me free to the heavens again I begin to lose track of all these parts I play for you I'll make up a new face so maybe I can stay with you"
