If Only I Had My Mind on Something Else

I could be king of kings; wear a crown and all the things

I'd want I'd never need

I'd be an ace in an aeroplane and every year I'd fly to Spain

If I could get the nerve to plant the seed

Oh, tell me how to say goodbye

I see her face in myself

Why, tell me why I made her cry

If only had my mind on something else

Captain of the submarine beneath the icebergs never seen

A hero with a medal for ev'ryday

I find me fame, reach the top

I keep on pushing never stop

If I could just forget her name

If only had my mind on something else
