| If I were wise, I’d be forgiving
|
| Just like the good book says we should be
|
| If I were young, I’d be forgetful
|
| There’s so much of this world to see
|
| But if I had the dough
|
| I’d buy you off slow like china
|
| I would own the goaded back
|
| The golden rule
|
| And you can’t afford to stop me
|
| Not if I were unkind to prude
|
| I won’t have to say it
|
| 'Cause you’d already know
|
| If I had the dough
|
| I’d buy you off slow like china
|
| If I had time then I would bite it
|
| Patience is a virtue I possess
|
| If I resented you, I would hide it
|
| Behind the spiral you would never get
|
| Then when I had the dough
|
| I’d buy you off slow like china
|
| When you spoke to me you’d say
|
| Both thank you and please
|
| You might drive a fancy car
|
| But I would hold the keys
|
| I won’t have to say it
|
| 'Cause you’d already know
|
| If I had the dough
|
| I’d buy you off slow like china
|
| Like china, like china
|
| When you spoke to me you’d say
|
| Both thank you and please
|
| You might drive a fancy car
|
| But I’d hold all the keys
|
| I won’t have to say it
|
| 'Cause you’d already know
|
| If I had the dough
|
| I’d buy you off slow like china
|
| Like china
|
| Like china
|
| Like china
|
| Like china |
