If You Were The Woman And I Was The Man
John Prine

If you were the woman and I was the man

Would I send you yellow roses?

Would I dare to kiss your hand?

In the morning would I caress you

As the wind caresses the sand,

If you were the woman and I was the man?


If I was the heart and you were the head

Would you think me very foolish

If one day I decided to shed

These walls that surround me

Just to see where these feelings led,

If I was the heart and you were the head?


If I was the woman and you were the man

Would I laugh if you came to me

With your heart in your hand

And said, I offer you this freely

And will give you all that I can

Because you are the woman

And I am the man?
