If I were wise, I'd be forgiving Just like the good book says we should be If I were young, I'd be forgetful There's so much of this world to see But if I had the dough I'd buy you off slow like china I would own the goaded back The golden rule And you can't afford to stop me Not if I were unkind to prude I won't have to say it 'Cause you'd already know If I had the dough I'd buy you off slow like china If I had time then I would bite it Patience is a virtue I possess If I resented you, I would hide it Behind the spiral you would never get Then when I had the dough I'd buy you off slow like china When you spoke to me you'd say Both thank you and please You might drive a fancy car But I would hold the keys I won't have to say it 'Cause you'd already know If I had the dough I'd buy you off slow like china Like china, like china When you spoke to me you'd say Both thank you and please You might drive a fancy car But I'd hold all the keys I won't have to say it 'Cause you'd already know If I had the dough I'd buy you off slow like china Like china Like china Like china Like china
