If I Was
Young Rebel Set
Letra

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.
