If I Was Tab

by 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
           Famj7                
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
