If You Were the Woman and I Was the Man (Live)
Well, when we were recording "Black Eyed Man"
A man named John Prine came and sang a song with me
So please welcome him to this stage to help me in
John Prine, will you please come?
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
Like the wind caresses the sand?
If you were the woman and I was the man
If I were the woman and you were the man
Would you send me yellow roses?
Would you dare to kiss my hand?
In the morning would you caress me
As the wind caresses the sand?
If I were the woman and you were 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, 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?"
A man named John Prine came and sang a song with me
So please welcome him to this stage to help me in
John Prine, will you please come?
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
Like the wind caresses the sand?
If you were the woman and I was the man
If I were the woman and you were the man
Would you send me yellow roses?
Would you dare to kiss my hand?
In the morning would you caress me
As the wind caresses the sand?
If I were the woman and you were 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, 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?"
