If I Were The Man You Wanted

They all sat around in a circle
 Laughing and all telling lies
 Then the tall one, he bumped in a dollar
 He said, boys, I've got nothing to hide
 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 she 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
 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 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 he wanted
 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
 And if I were the man you wanted
 I would not be the man that I am.
