Verse 1

 i wish i was - i wish i was a soldier

i fight and die for you'

 I wish I was - I wish I was your captain

I'd guide you through life from my bridge

 I wish I was - I wish I was a poet

beautiful letters I could write

 I wish I was - I wish I was a sailor

the stories I could tell

Chorus

 no, but I'm - no I'm

 I'm just a fool for you

 but I feel - I feel love

 love I never knew

Verse 2

 but if I was - if I was a soldier

I'd be the biggest coward of all

 and if I was - if I was a captain

I'd fall asleep on my watch

 and if I was - if I was a poet

I'd probably not dare to show it

 and if I was - if I was a sailor

I'd get drunk in every port

Chorus

 no, but I'm - no I'm

 I'm just a fool for you

 but I feel - I feel love

 love I never knew
