If I Were The Man You Wanted Lyrics - Lyle Lovett

They all sat around in a circle 

They were all laughing and all telling lies 

Then the tall one he bumped in a dollar 

He said boys I've got nothing to hide 

Now if the King and the Queen stood together 

Then the ace he would not be to blame 

And if the cards were all laid on the table 

Then love could be more than a game 

And if the stars didn't shine on the water 

Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand 

And if I were the man you wanted 

I would not be the man that I am

And I have seen my share of long nights 

And I have told my share of lies 

And I have run into the darkness 

When I saw the look in your eyes 

But if the night didn't lie in the darkness 

Then the daylight would be hard to find 

And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness 

I would have never have spoken my mind 

And if the stars didn't shine on the water 

Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand 

And if I were the man you wanted 

Then I would not be the man that I am 

So if you're going out to Carolina 

Then don't linger in New Mexico 

And if you think of the one there behind you 

Then you might not feel so alone
