Ian McDonald - If I Was lyrics

If I was a poet I'd know what to say If I were an actor I'd act the right way But when you walk by I just go up on my lines If I were a painter Repainting the world Then you'd get the picture And I'd get the girl But whatever I do I draw a blank when it comes to you Trying to get you out of my mind Climbing walls all day and all night How long can I go on Being right where you belong If I were a singer You'd listen to me Yes, if I were an artist I would be free It's so hard to express Lost my voice long ago, I guess Deep down I know I'm on track But I've been holding back I'm dying to make my move Don't you know how much I want you? But whatever I do I draw a blank when it comes to you If I was a poet I'd know what to say If I were an actor I'd act the right way But when you walk by I just go up on my lines Na na ra na na ra Na na ra na na Na na ra na na ah
