If I Were The Man You Wanted |
| 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 |
| 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 |
