If I Were a Drinker

You only wanted what money could buy

Any trinket that sparkled would catch your green eyes

I should have known better, but I loved you too much

When you spent all my savings, love was not enoughIf I were a drinker, I'd be drunk tonight

And if I were a gambler, Lord I'd bet my last dime

You're out with another, you won't be home

But if I were a rich man, you wouldn't be goneWe used to go dancin' on Saturday night

You shined like a diamond underneath those blue lights

You were a fool's gold, oh but I would soon learn

I'd never make you happy on the money I earnIf I were a drinker, I'd be drunk tonight

And if I were a gambler, Lord I'd bet my last dime

You're out with another, you won't be home

But if I were a rich man, you wouldn't be goneYes if I were a rich man, you wouldn't be gone
