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?"
