The Things That You Could Be Songtext
von Yes Darling

I just thought of song
You just thought of a song? (I did)
Just now? (I did it′s a love song)
Oh (it's about how much I love you)
Oh I love you too
(But it′s like, it's like I love you for the person you are)
(But I love you even more for the person you could be)
What? (Yeah, no it's nice) no (now check it out)

All the things you are to me, aren′t half as good
As the things that you could be

(No that′s not nice honey) no it's a love song
(No that′s not a nice thing to say)
Now try with me (okay)

All the things you are to me, aren't half as good
As the things that you could be


(No that′s not) see (no that is not nice)
Now check it out (oh God)
Would you be my calendar so I could date you? (Oh)
Would you play chess with me, so I could mate you? (Maybe)
Would you be my song so I could sing you? (Oh, that's nice)
Would you be my drum so I could bang you? (Oh, easy)

All the things you are to me, aren′t half as good
As the things that you could be

(Alright, let me try) yeah, try it (alright)
Would you be my clothes so I could change you? (No, no)
Be some furniture, so I could re-arrange you?
(No it's a love song)
Would you be an historic, so I could hide you?
(That sounds alright)
Or be a carousel, so I could ride you (Yes!)

All the things you are to me, aren't half as good
As the things that you could be

Would you give your ace freely, so I could kiss you?
(What?)
Be my tender clock train, so I could miss you (ooh)
Would you be my coffee, so I could grind you?
Be my good car, so I could get behind you

All the things you are to me, aren′t half as good
As the things that you could be


You′re not mine and I'm not yours
But we′re not allowed to say it
Free your mind, open up your doors
Hey I got a game (well I wanna play)

Would you be in some space, so I could hold you?
Well, only if you're a good boy just like I told you (I′d be good)
If I remove the wrapper like I did before
Then you could be my bubblegum, when I could blow (yeah)

All the things you are to me, aren't half as good
As the things that you could be

Would you be my bear, so I could swing you?
Would you be my bell so I could ding you?
(Ding me?)
Would you be my room, so I could be inside you?
Only if you wear a suit that I could see through

All the things you are to me, aren′t half as good
As the other things, don't be misunderstood
Everything you are is really something good
But think if you were all of these things too
What you would be to me
