IF I WAS A BETTER MAN
WOULD FELLOW MEN
TAKE ME TO THEIR HEARTS
IF I WAS A STRONGER MAN
CARRYIN' THE WEIGHT
OF POPULAR DEMAND
TELL ME
WOULD THAT ALARM HER
I'D NEVER HARM HER AT ALL
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 WISER MAN
WOULD OTHER MEN
REACH OUT AND TOUCH ME
IF I WAS A KINDER MAN
DISHIN' 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, IN BURNIN' 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
DISHIN' 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
IF I... WAS A POET
ALL MY LOVE, IN BURNIN' WORDS
I WOULD SHOW IT
IF I... WAS HER LOVER
HER EYES IN KISSES
I WOULD COVER
