If I was a better man Would fellow men take me to their hearts If I was a stronger man Carrying the weight of a 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 it 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 save 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 If I was a poet All my love and burning words I would show it If I was her lover Her eyes in kisses I would cover
