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 demandTell me would that alarm her?
I'd never harm her at all
If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before herIf I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
If I was a wiser man
Would other men reach out
And touch meIf I was a kinder man
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her
I want to please her againIf 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 herIf I was a poet
All my love in burning words
I would show it
If I was her lover
Her eyes in kisses I would coverCome here, my baby
Oh, they can't touch you now
I'll keep you safe and warm
I'll never leave you at allCome 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 againIf I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to herIf 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 herIf I was a poet
All my love in burning words
I would show it
