If I Was
Midge Ure If I was a better man Would fellow men take me to their hearts If I was a stronger man Tell me would that alarm her Carrying the weight of popular demand 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 Would other men reach out and touch me If I was a wiser man If I was a kinder man Tell me would that appease her Dishing up love for a hungry world I want to please her again If I was a painter If I was a leader I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her 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 I'll never leave you at all Oh they can't touch you now Come here my baby I'll keep you safe and warm Dishing up love for a hungry world Oh they won't touch you I want to please you again Tell me would that appease you If I was a soldier Captive arms I'd lay before her If I was a sailor Seven oceans I'd sail to her I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her If I was a painter If I was a leader On food of love from above I would feed her All my love in burning words I would show it If I was a poet Words and music: M. Ure/D. Mitchell |
