If I Were The Man You Wanted Sözleri

They all sat around in a circle laughing and all telling lies

Then the tall one he bumped in a dollar se said boys I've got nothing to hide

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...

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

And if the stars didn't shine on the water...

And if I were the man you wanted I would not be the man that I am
