If I was a sailor I would sail you out to sea
Take you across the ocean, ask you to marry me Oh if I was sailor I would sail you home to me And if I was a soldier I would march to war for you
I’d face every bullet and cannonball that flew
Oh if I was a soldier I would wage a war for you
And if I was a jailer I would lock you away
Then I’d have the key to see you each and every day
Oh if I was a jailer I would still have you today
And if I was a rich man I’d buy you flowers every day
But I am a poor man so I’ll pick them on the way
Oh if I was a rich man I would pay to make you to stay.
I’ve wasted so much time
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
I’ve wasted so much love
Now I wish I’d never learnt to play a note.
And if I had an aeroplane then I’d fly you away
Maybe we go to rome or paris for the day
Oh if I had an aeroplane then I’d whisk you away
And if I was a betting man I’d bet you love me too
I’d bet everything I had for the chance to be with you
Oh if I was a betting man my odds are 9−2.
I’ve wasted so much time
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
I’ve wasted so much love
Now I wish I’d never learnt to play a note
Yeah I wish I’d never learnt to play a note
Oh I wish I’d never learnt to play a note.
I’ve wasted so much time
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
I’ve wasted so much love
Oh I wish I’d never learnt to play a note.
And if I was a writer I would write the book on you
I’d tell them all the stories of the things we used to do Oh if I was a writer I would write the book on you
And if I was a painter I’d paint portraits of you
Hang them in the galleries like all good painter do Oh if I was a painter I’d paint potraits of you.
I’ve wasted so much time
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
I’ve wasted so much love
Now I wish I’d never learnt to play a note
Yeah I wish I’d never learnt to play a note
Oh I wish I’d never learnt to play a note.
It’s shocking that we don’t here more bands like this on the radio that actually write and play their own music rather than the likes of JLS who are in to music just to be famous.
