I might bring you daffodils And hand them to you on my bended knee uh-huh I might put your apron on And play the part you figured out for me I could be your puppy dog that never learned Just forget the times I got my fingers burn I could wag my ragged tail for you But baby don't hold your breath until I do
I could build the shade for you So you could sit and watch your garden grow oh-oh I could not be likely as you Sip your tea and tell me where to go I could light your cigarette and tip my hat Your inflated ego needs a man like that I could spend my whole life pleasing you But baby don't hold your breath until I do
Baby don't hold your breath until I do That's been tried by better girls than you If you're expecting me to change my old ways for the new Baby don't hold your breath until I do
I could build the path for you And lay the carpet with my own two hands uh-huh Rate the place with little bells To make the servants jump at your command I could start to march each time you beat your drum To end up just another love beneath your thumb Wouldn't that just thrill you through and through Well baby don't hold your breath until I do
Baby don't hold your breath until I do... Baby don't hold your breath until I do How long can you hold your breath
