If Only I Was a Poet - Staffan Carlén

Oh, yes, I remember your black dress

And how you turned my mind completely

Into such a mess

So easily

And it really came as no surprise

You looked beyond compare

And every time that I came close

To make a move I froze

I always do that and I know it

If I could only be some kind of poet

If I could have my way with words

If only for a day

I would tell you what I feel so you’d know it

Because I would know just what to say

If only I was some kind of poet

And the next time you walk through that door

I really need to try to talk to you

But every time I do

I end up like a fool

Yeah when I try to tell you how I feel

Strange things happen to me

And I lose my way

I don’t know what to say

It’s always like this and I know it

If I could only be some kind of poet

If I could have my way with words

If only for a day

I would tell you what I feel so you’d know it

Because I would know just what to say

If only I was some kind of poet

If only I was a poet

If I was some kind of poet

If only I was a poet

Just some kind of poet
