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 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
