If I Was lyrics by Midge Ure
Titel: IF I WASInterpret: MIDGE URE
---------------------------------------------------------------
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?
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 out 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 a lover,
Her eyes in kisses I would cover.
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'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.
