Oh if only you were the only boy in town

For then I could not play the field and let you down
    E minorEm         A7A7

No, if only you were the only boy in town

Oh if only you were the only boy in France
  G+G       D MajorD      C majorC        D MajorD
Our life would not be like one long, long, long seance
    E minorEm         A7A7
I think I would endeavor to love you forever
 D MajorD           C majorC
Instead of only for the nonce

If-if only you were the only boy in France

With the only boy in town

In the loneliest possible world
      G+G       D MajorD
There would be no daily betrayal

Oh if only you were the only boy alive
  G+G     D MajorD      C majorC           D MajorD
And I were the queen of our small, small, small beehive
      E minorEm            A7A7
Though more pricks than a cactus may always distract us
   D MajorD              C majorC
Would they all take up all my sex drive?
    G+G   D MajorD      C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
Not-not-not if you were the only boy alive

Oh if only you were the only boy in France
