If I was
a better man
would fellow men
take me to their hearts
If I was
a stronger man
Carrying the weight of
a popular demand
tell me would that
alarm her
I'd never harm her
at all
If I was
a wiser man
would other men
reach out and touch me
If I was
a kinder man
Dishing up love for
a hungry world
tell me would that
appease her
I want to please her
again
If I was
a painter
I'd paint a world that
couldn't taint her
If I was a leader
on food of love
from above
I would feed her
If I was a poet
all my love
and burning words
I would show it
If I was her lover
her eyes in kisses
I would cover
Come here my baby
oh they can't
touch you now
I'll keep you
safe and warm
I'll never leave you
at all
Come here my baby
oh they won't touch you
Dishing up love
for a hungry world
tell me would that
appease you
I want to please you
again
If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd
lay before her
If I was a sailor
seven oceans
I'd sail to her
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that
couldn't taint her
If I was a leader
on food of love
from above
I would feed her
