(If You Were) In My Movie — Suzanne Vega

If you were in my movie I'd have you as the doctor Small black bag And a big black coat

I'd have you make a house call To the woman You could lay your Diagnostic hand Upon her belly and her throat

If you were in my movie You could be the detective You could sit behind the desk With a question on your lip

Examine her for motive Investigate the scene In the ever present danger Keep the holster at your hip

If you were in my movie If you were in my movie If you were in my movie

If you were in my movie You could be the priest Long black frock White collar at the neck

You could come to the confession You could give a girl a thrill You could save her from her passion Keep her body in check

If you were in my movie If you were in my movie If you were in my movie

If you were in my movie You could be the gangster Double-breasted pinstriped Man with the cigarette

Go running down the alley With a double-crossing blond Explaining to the jury That you hadn't done anything yet

If you were in my movie...
