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 stalemate      To never meet is surely where we're bound   There's one in every town   Just there to grind you down      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 rounder's 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      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'd seen you in the bakery   If I'd seen you in the bakery   You probably wouldn't have seen me
