I wish I could play the mandolin
Oh all the things I'd do
I wish I could play accordion
And all day pour out my blues
I wish I could play violin
Oh all the sorrow I'd prove
But most of all
If only I knew
How to play you

Hand me the notes to win your heart
I'll play until my fingers bleed
Give me a guide or a manual
I'll do whatever you please
Don't be afraid to take my hands
And place them on top of yours
I'll give my all
Eye's on the ball
And you'll be done for

Teach me all the ways
To get deep inside of your heart
I'll practice inside your heart
I'll practice every day
Each morning
Each noon
And each night

I'll never give up you wait and see
I'll get so good you just might cry
Soon you will be asking me
For tricks you'd like to try
Give me gold stars
Please oh please
I'll give them right back plus more
Don't you see
I'm ready to be
Forever yours

Teach me all the ways
To get deep inside of your heart
I'll practice inside your heart
I'll practice every day
Each morning
Each noon
And each night
