Текст песни 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 out 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 a 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.
