IF YOU WERE A WOMAN (AND I WAS A MAN)

edited version not yet available

(if you were a woman and I was a man
would it be so hard to understand
that a heart's a heart and we do what we can
if you were a woman and I was a man… I was a man)

(ooooh)

How's it feel to be a woman?
How's it feel to be a man?
Are we really that different? Tell me where you stand

I look at you—you look away
Why do you say we're night and day?
I'd like to try another way—oh baby, for just one day

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand?
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man, no, oh

How's it feel to be a hunter?
How's it feel to be the prey?
Is there really a reason for this game we play?

I look at you—you look away Why do you say we're night and day?
I'd like to try another way—oh darling, for just one day

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man....

Hey, we're just two people trying to love
Oh, but how, how can we love?
With this wall between us, holding us back?

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man, oh

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man....

UNDER SUSPICION

I put my trust in you 'cause I'm not the suspicious kind
But it seems to me that there's someone on your mind
Maybe I'm wrong and maybe there's some mistake
But I won't take any chances—I'm watching every mover you make
I never felt so scared and helpless before
I wish I could believe in you but I just gotta be sure

You're under suspicion all the time
You're under suspicion all the time, yeah

When we talk I can see you can't look me straight in the eye
What's all the secrecy, you've got me wondering why
Is there someone you met to make you regret your decision?
How could you forget all our plans and all our ambitions?
Don't try to pull the wool right over my eyes
You think you're pretty smart but I can see right through your disguise

Ooooh!
You're under suspicion all the time, time, yeah
You're under suspicion all the time, ooh
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh....
