Intro

    

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

If I was 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 was the woman and you were the man

Verse 3

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?

Verse 4

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
I will give you all that I can
Because you are the woman and I am the man"?
