If I Was a Better Man
Would Fellow Men Take Me to Their Hearts
If I Was a Stronger Man
Carrying the Weight of Popular Demand
Tell Me Would That Alarm Her
I'd Never Harm Her At All
If I Was a Soldier
Captive Arms I'd Lay Before Her
If I Was a Sailor
Seven Oceans I'd Sail to Her
If I Was a Wiser Man
Would Other Men Reach Out and Touch Me
If I Was a Kinder
Man
Dishing Up Love For a Hungry World
Tell Me Would
That Appease Her
I Want to Please Her Again
If I Was a Painter
I'd Paint a World That Couldn't Taint Her
If I Was a Leader
On Food of Love From Above
I Would Feed Her
If I Was a Poet
All My Love in Burning Words
I Would Show It
If I Was Her Lover
Her Eyes in Kisses I Would Cover
Come Here My Baby
Oh They Can't Touch You Now
I'll Keep You Safe and Warm
I'll Never Leave You At All
Come Here My Baby
Oh They Won't Touch You
Dishing Up Love For a Hungry World
Tell Me Would That Appease You
I Want to Please You Again
If I Was a Soldier
Captive Arms I'd Lay Before Her
If I Was a Sailor
Seven Oceans I'd Sail to Her
If I Was a Painter
I'd Paint a World That Couldn't Taint Her
If I Was a Leader
On Food of Love From Above I Would Feed Her
If I Was a Poet
All My Love in Burning Words I Would Show It

I really love the idea of orchestrated songs, since orchestras make the best sounds, but the song should fit, or be refitted to be orchestrated. I don't know what instrument it is, but that permanent base overplays everything else and (to me) just destroys the whole idea of an orchestrated song.
However still beautifully sung!!!
