The Sandpipers - If I Were the Man Lyrics

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?

Hands that hold one another may never
Touch the same again even then
If I were the man it never would have been

Losing you if I were the man

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

Winds that softly blow
The thought of losing you crossed my mind
Leave behind in the shifting sands
All my dreams and plans

If I were the man

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?
