Lyle Lovett - If I Were The Man You Wanted текст песни

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 Ive 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 didnt shine on the water

Then the sun wouldnt 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 didnt lie in the darkness

Then the daylight would be hard to find

And if the truth didnt turn to a weakness

I would have never have spoken my mind

And if the stars didnt shine on the water

Then the sun wouldnt burn on the sand

And if I were the man you wanted

Then I would not be the man that I am

So if youre going out to carolina

Then dont 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 didnt shine on the water

Then the sun wouldnt burn on the sand

And if I were the man you wanted

I would not be the man that I am
