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.
