Song title: Lyle Lovett - If I Were The Man You Wanted

Edit By: 216.73.216.11

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
