If I Was Lyrics - Singles - 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 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 in 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 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
