If only

We had a bit more time

If only

We knew how to rhyme

Perhaps

We could learn to rap

Maybe

We’d get outta this trap

If only

I was six foot four

If only

I wasn’t such a bore

Perhaps

I’d find a better life

Maybe

Even have a better wife

If only

You could be more kind

If only

You had a happy mind

Perhaps

You’d stop confusing me

I wish

You’d stop abusing me

If only

Life was sometimes fair

If only

We’d do what we dare

Maybe

Fortune would go our way

Perhaps

I’d still be willing to stay

If only

This morbid dependency

Was only

A temporary tendency

Then we’d

Excuse it, refuse its power

Instead

It only makes us cower

If only

We were somehow wealthy

If only

Either of us was healthy

Maybe

We could rig this ridiculous game

But

Only if we give up this rotten shame
