Analysis of If You Want
Jared D Langley 1984 (Marion Indiana)
If you want the moon
I'll pull it from the sky
If you want the stars
I won't stop to ask why
If you want the clouds
I'll fly you in a plane
If you want a river
I'll dig one when it rains
If you want the ocean
I'll put a yacht where you wish
If you want a mountain
I'll get the one you pick
If you want a house built
I'll do my very best
If you want my time
You only need to request
If you want my heart
It's already in your hands
If you want my soul
It's yours, no demands
