If I Were the Man by The Sandpipers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I were the man I used to be
I wouldn't stand here
Waitin' for you
I'd just walk away
Quietly
Would you go look for me?

[Verse 2]
Hands that hold one another
May never
Touch the same again
Even then
If I were the man
It never would have been

[Refrain]
Losing you if I were the man

[Verse 3]
Take the times that we've shared together
And wrap them in all
In little rings of clay
And roll the rings away
Away from me
You take the light of day
[Verse 4]
Winds that softly blow
The thought of losing you
Crossed my mind
Leave behind
In the shifting sands
All my dreams and plans

[Refrain]
If I were the man

[Verse 5]
If I were the man I used to be
I wouldn't stand here
Waitin' for you
I'd just walk away
Quietly
Would you go look for me?
