If I Were a Drinker
Love's Worth in a World of Desires
Lyrics
You only wanted what money could buy
You desired material wealth and possessions.
Any trinket that sparkled would catch your green eyes
You were attracted to shiny objects and luxury items.
I should have known better, but I loved you too much
I should have been more cautious, but my love for you blinded me.
When you spent all my savings, love was not enough
Even though I gave you my love, it wasn't enough when you spent all my savings.
If I were a drinker, I'd be drunk tonight
If I had the habit of drinking, I would drown my sorrows tonight.
And if I were a gambler, Lord I'd bet my last dime
If I were a gambler, I would risk everything on the chance of winning.
You're out with another, you won't be home
You are currently spending time with someone else and won't be returning home.
But if I were a rich man, you wouldn't be gone
If I were wealthy, you wouldn't have left me.
We used to go dancin' on Saturday night
We used to enjoy dancing together on Saturdays.
You shined like a diamond underneath those blue lights
You looked stunning under the blue lights during our dance nights.
You were a fool's gold, oh but I would soon learn
You seemed valuable, but I later realized it was a deceptive appearance.
I'd never make you happy on the money I earn
I couldn't make you happy with the money I earned.
If I were a drinker, I'd be drunk tonight
If I were a drinker, I would drown my sorrows tonight.
And if I were a gambler, Lord I'd bet my last dime
If I were a gambler, I would risk everything on the chance of winning.
You're out with another, you won't be home
You are currently spending time with someone else and won't be returning home.
But if I were a rich man, you wouldn't be gone
If I were wealthy, you wouldn't have left me.
Yes if I were a rich man, you wouldn't be gone
If I were rich, you wouldn't have left me.
