Lyrics for Song: If I Were The Woman You Wanted 
Lyrics for Album: Once In A Very Blue Moon [1997]
  
               
  8898>Now they all sat around in a circle
  They were laughing and all telling lies
  Then the tall one he bumped in a dollar
  Oh he said boys I've got nothing to hide
  Now 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, now darlin'
  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 woman you wanted babe
 
 
  I would not be the woman 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, now darlin'
  When I saw the look in your eyes
 
 
  But 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, now babe
  I would have 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 woman you wanted babe
  Then I would not be the woman 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, there darlin'
  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 woman you wanted babe
  I would not be the woman that I am
  And if I were the woman you wanted babe
  I would not be the woman that I am
