If I Were My Boyfriend
© Jennifer Mansfield Peal 2004

If I were my boyfriend I’d take me out dancing
I’d take me to movies and buy me cologne
If I were my boyfriend, the time spent with others
Would not be a sweet as the time spent alone
I’d have laughter and secrets in intimacy
If I were the boyfriend of me

If I were my boyfriend…

If I were my husband I’d plan for my future
I’d plan for the time that we’re no longer young
If I were my husband I’d care for my health
And work side by side for our life and our home
I’d expect me to be my friend permanently
If I were the husband of me

If I were my husband…

If I were my teacher I’d take myself places
I’d give myself time to learn things that are hard
If I were my teacher I’d keep myself laughing
Remind myself learning is life’s great reward
I would never take failure too seriously
If I were the teacher of me

If I were my teacher

If I were my husband

If I were my boyfriend, my wife
‘Cause this is my life and I’m free
