If I thought it would get me anywhere, I'd open up to you, lay my soul bare. If I thought it would get me what I want, I'd give up what little good I have got. If I thought it would get me your regard, I'd do anything, no matter how hard. If I thought it would get me my desire I'd make of all my lesser dreams a pyre. If I thought it would get me what I need - I'd sweat, I'd suffer, sacrifice and bleed. If I thought it would get me not to care, I'd turn my back on both hope and despair.

If she thought it would get her bad poems, she'd never have asked this question of us.

If I thought it would get me what I want,
I'd give up what little good I have got.
If I thought it would get me your regard,
I'd do anything, no matter how hard.
If I thought it would get me my desire
I'd make of all my lesser dreams a pyre.
If I thought it would get me what I need -
I'd sweat, I'd suffer, sacrifice and bleed.
If I thought it would get me not to care,
I'd turn my back on both hope and despair.
