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