If I’d Never Been Born

[Verse 1]
Big brown eyes and bushy tail
City girl to country trail
Vows exchanged in the Town Hall
But did you know what you wanted when I came along?

[Chorus]
And I know you'd hate me for even thinking of this
Who you'd be without me, a dancer or an actress
I would watch you at the school gates
Waiting for me, day after day

[Post-Chorus]
Who she might've been
If I'd never been

[Verse 2]
Thirty-one, in a party dress
Walked past Dad in a parallel universe
You moved back to Australia
And who knows if you'll ever be a mother

[Chorus]
And I know you'd hate me for even thinking of this
Who you'd be without me, a writer or an artist
I would watch you at the school gates
Waiting for me, day after day
[Post-Chorus]
Who she might've been
If I'd never been
Born

[Outro]
Who she might have been
If I'd never been
