If I Was

If I was a better man
 
 Would fellow men take me to their hearts
 If I was a stronger man
 Carrying 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
 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 her
 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
