If I was if I was a better man
A better man would fellow men
Take me to their hearts
If I was if I was a stronger man
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 lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
If I was if I was a wiser man
Wiser man
Would other men other men reach out and touch me
If I was if I was a kind of man
Kind of man dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her
I want to please her again
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
If I was a soldier
Captive arms I lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd turn to her
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 lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'm still to her
