Songwriter Desmond Child wrote “If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man)” for Bonnie Tyler, but was unsatisfied with its chart performance (it peaked at #77 in the spring of 1986). So he brought the music to Bon Jovi and they rewrote it as “You Give Love A Bad Name” and that song hit #1 later that same...
If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man) Lyrics
[Intro]
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!
[Verse 1]
How's it feel to be a woman?
How's it feel to be a man?
Are we really that different?
Tell me where we stand
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
How's it feel to be the hunter?
How's it feel to be the prey?
Is there really a reason
For this game we play?
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Hey!
Hey, hey!
We're just two people trying to love
Oh, but how, how can we love?
With this wall between us
Holding us!
Holding us back!
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
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
[Outro]
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
I was a man!
I was a man!
