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 enough

If 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 gone

We 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 earn

If 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 gone

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