Emma Wallace - Hard to Get Lyrics

If I were the Holy Grail
I wouldn't lead you down some rat-infested trail
I'd be right there on aisle four
Of your favorite grocery store

And if I were a treasure chest
I wouldn't make you sail for me from the east to the west
I'd leave you directions on a Hallmark card
Where I was hiding in your front yard

Cause, oh, I've read
I should play cold and unimpressed
But I know, instead,
At that game I'd just be rotten
So, like I've said,
Just as I can't play cold and unimpressed
It's very hard for me to play hard to get
When I want so much to be gotten

If I were a law degree
I wouldn't make you work for years to pay off me
I'd give you fifteen scholarships
Every time you kissed my lips

And if I were the keys to your car
I wouldn't make you hunt for me from garage to boudoir
I'd stay right near your finger
So you always would remember

Cause, oh, I've read
I should play cold and unimpressed
But I know, instead,
At that game I'd just be rotten
So, like I've said,
Just as I can't play cold and unimpressed
It's very hard for me to play hard to get
When I want so much to be gotten

And if I were a pot of gold
I wouldn't make you chase rainbows till you grew old
I'd be there, in all kinds of weather,
So we could grow old, together

Cause, oh, I've read
I should play cold and unimpressed
But I know, instead,
At that game I'd just be rotten
So, like I've said,
Just as I can't play cold and unimpressed
It's very hard for me to play hard to get
When I want so much to be gotten
