If I Were a Top

I was asked to write a top/bottom version of Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy". Here it is...

If I Were a Top

If I were a top
If thats how I was made
I'd roll out of bed in the morning, and wouldn't try to put on a show
It would not be a surprise
To catch someone's desire
And I'd walk just where I wanted
And I'd never feel hunted for it
Cause the hunting's for me

If I were a top
I think I could understand
How it feels to hold a pearl
I swear I'd have a better plan
And I'd sooth the burns
Cause I'd know how it hurts
When you look for some protection
From a house you both can live in
And everything you build just gets burnt

If I were a top
I would turn off my phone
Tell the bottoms that it's broken
So they don't see that I've got a new home
I'd put myself first
And make the rules and then go
Cause I know that they'd be patient
Doing what I say with high hopes (With high hopes)

If I were a top
I think I could understand
How it feels to hold a pearl
And build a house somewhere that would stand
And I'd kiss where it burns
Cause I'd know how it hurts
When you spend your life just building
Up a home that top can come to
But you find that you keep living alone

Its a little to late for you to come back
Try and tear down my walls
Then move on 'til you relax
If you thought you still lived in here
You thought wrong

But you're just a top
And you don't understand
How it feels to hold a pearl
Someday you'd wish that you had ever planned
You don't try to return
And you don't know how to earn
All of the love that they've been giving
Cause you're taking them for granted
And every house you lived in has burned

But you're just a top...
