If I were him,   I'd know your birthday   Just what to get   The colors you wear   We'd borrow bikes   We'd ride on Sundays   You'd review   The books I sell      And I know it takes 22 steps   From the walk to your door   Takes 22 steps   'Cause I've tried it before   And one day I'll knock   But just not yet      If I were him   I'd buy the rain coat   The orange one   That he forbade   We'd wait for rain   We'd walk by his house   In the front   Not by the lane      And I know it takes 22 steps   From the walk to your door   Takes 22 steps   'Cause I've tried it before   And one day I'll knock   But just not yet      And I'm not so sure   That you would not say   "Get out, don't step in"   I would never try again   I'm not so sure   That you would not say   "Get out, don't step in"   I would never try again      I would never try again      Takes 22 steps   From the walk to your door   Takes 22 steps   'Cause I've tried it before   And one day I'll knock   Yeah, and one day I'll knock      Takes 22 steps   From the walk to your door   Takes 22 steps   'Cause I've tried it before   And one day I'll knock   But just not yet      If I were him   I'd know your birthday wish
