I wish you would have smiled in the bakery

 or sat on a tatty settee

 at some mutual friend's gathering

 and the more you keep on looking

 the more it's hard to take

 love, we're in stale mate

 to never meet is surely where we're bound

 there's one in every town

just there to grind you down

|-1-5-10-1-|

 I wish I would have seen you in the post office

 well maybe I did and I missed it

 too busy with a mind on clever rhymes

why not the rounders pitch or the canteen

 you're slacking love, where have you been?

 Just had to go and wait until tonight

 so give me the invite

don't worry it's alright

|-1-5-10-1-|

 I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade

 sipping on a lemonade in the paper cup and chewing on the straw

 and I wish I would have seen you in the bakery

 but if I'd seen you in the bakery you probably wouldn't have seen me
