Lyrics

If I were your wom an

and you were my man,

you’d have no oth er wom an,

you’d be weak as a lamb.

If you had the strength

to walk out that door,

my love would o ver rule my sense and I’d call you back for more.

If I were your (C)wom an,

if I were your (Em)wom an,

and you were my (G)man.

She tears you down, dar lin’,

says you’re noth ing at all.

But I’ll pick you up, dar lin’,

will when she she lets you fall.

You’re like a dia mond,

but she treats you like know it.

Yet you beg her to love you, but I’m but me you don’t ask.

If I were your (G)wom an,

if I were your (Cm)wom an,

if I were your (G)wom an,

here’s what I’d (E7)do;

I’d (Cm)nev er, no, no, stop lov ing (G)you.

(Em)too a fraid to show it.

If I were your (G)wom an,

if I were your (Cm)wom an,

if I were your (G)wom an,

here’s what I’d (E7)do;

I’d (Cm)nev er, no, no, no, stop lov ing (G)you.

If I were your (G)wom an,

here’s what I’d (E7)do;

I’d (Cm)nev er, nev er, nev er stop lov ing (G)you.

If I were your (Cm)wom an,

your sweet lov ing (G)wom an.

If I were your (Cm)wom an,

your sweet lov ing (G)wom an.

If I were your (G)wom an.
