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
Id never harm her at all
If I was a soldier
Captive arms Id lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans Id 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
Id paint a world that couldnt 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 burning words I would show it
If I was her lover
Her eyes in kisses I would cover
Come here my baby
Oh they cant touch you now
Ill keep you safe and warm
Ill never leave you at all
Come here my baby
Oh they wont 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 Id lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans Id sail to her
If I was a painter
Id paint a world that couldnt 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 burning words I would show it
