If I Were the Man You Wanted

They all sat around in a circle

Laughing and all telling lies

Then the tall one, he bumped in a dollar

He said, "Boys, I've got nothing to hide"If the king and the queen stood together

Then the ace, he would not be to blame

And if the cards were all laid on the table

Then love could be more than a gameAnd if the stars didn't shine on the water

Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand

And if I were the man she wanted

I would not be the man that I amAnd I have seen my share of long nights

And I have told my share of lies

And I have run into the darkness

When I saw the look in your eyesIf the night didn't lie in the darkness

Then the daylight would be hard to find

And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness

I would never have spoken my mindAnd if the stars didn't shine on the water

Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand

And if I were the man he wanted

I would not be the man that I amSo if you're going out to California

Then don't linger in New Mexico

And if you think of the one there behind you

Then you might not feel so aloneAnd if the stars didn't shine on the water

Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand

And if I were the man you wanted

I would not be the man that I am

And if I were the man you wanted

I would not be the man that I am
