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 bullets 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 nine to two
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 'em 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 painters do
Oh, if I was a painter, I'd paint portraits 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
