If I was a better man
  Would fellow men take me to their hearts
  If I was a stronger man
  Carrying the weight of a 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 couln´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 her lover
  Her eyes in kisses I would cover
  
  Come here my baby
  Oh they can´t touch you now
  I´ll keep you save 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 couln´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
