If I Were A Bell - Holly Cole

Ask me — How do I feel?

Ask me now that we are cosy and clinging?

Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bell I’d be ringing.

From the moment we kissed tonight,

Thats that way I’ve just got to behave.

Boy, if I was a lamp I’d light,

Or if I was a banner I’d wave.

Ask me how do I feel?

Little me with my quiet upbringing.

Well sir, all I can say is if I was a gate I’d be swinging.

Or if I was a watch I’d start popping my spring.

Or if I were a bell I’d go ding dong ding dong ding.

Ask me — How do I feel?

From this chemistry lesson I’m learning.

Well sir, all I can say is if I was a bridge I’d be burning.

Yes I knew my morale would crack.

From the wonderful way that you looked.

Boy, if I was a duck i’d quack.

Or if I was a goose I’d be cooked.

Ask me how do I feel?

Ask me now that we’re fondly caressing.

Pal, if I was a salad I’d surely be splashing my dressing.

Or if I were a top I’d start popping my spring

Or if I were a bell

I’d go ding dong ding dong — DING!
