C Dm G F
If I was a better man would fellow men take me to their hearts
C Dm G
If I was a stronger man carrying the weight of popular demand
F Am G
Tell me would that alarm her I'd never harm her at all
C Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
If I was a soldier captive arms I'd lay before her
C Famj7 G Fmaj7
If I was a sailor seven oceans I'd sail to her

C Dm G F
If I was a wiser man would other men reach out and touch me
C Dm G
If I was a kinder man dishing up love for a hungry world
F Am G
Tell me would that appease her I want to please her again
C F G F
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
C
Come here my baby
Dm
Oh they can't touch you now
G F
I'll keep you safe and warm
I'll never leave you at all
C
Come here my baby
Dm
Oh they won't touch you
G
Dishing up love for a hungry world
F
Tell me would that appease you
Am G
I want to please you again
