If I Were The Man You Wanted
Lyle Lovett

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 I've 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 didn't shine on the water

Then the sun wouldn't 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 didn't lie in the darkness

Then the daylight would be hard to find

And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness

I would have never have spoken my mind


And if the stars didn't shine on the water

Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand

And if I were the man you wanted

Then I would not be the man that I am


So if you're going out to California

Then don't 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 didn't shine on the water

Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand

And if I were the man you wanted

I would not be the man that I am
