I wish you would have smiled in the bakery Or sat on a tatty settee At some mutual friend's gathering And the more you keep on looking The more is hard to take Love, we're in stale mate To never meet is surely where we're bound There's one in every town Just there to grind you down
I wish I would have seen you in the post office Well maybe I did and I missed it Too busy with a mind on clever rhymes Why not the rounder's pitch or the canteen You're slacking love, where have you been? Just had to go and wait until tonight So give me the invite Don't worry it's alright
I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade Sipping on a lemonade in the paper cup and chewing on the straw And I wish I would have seen you in the bakery But if I'd seen you in the bakery You probably wouldn't have seen me
