If I had my say
If i could wish time away and rewind my life somehow
Who would i be now if id been a man
Nothing to lose no world to choose
Because a man on the move doesn't need to prove his worth
Knows his place form birth
Since the world began
A man can set aside his feelings
To be a shark in business dealings
Rise above the weak and small
And reach for all he can
I alas am neither I nor or
And so my guy walked out the door
Could I bear it more if id been a man
Though I made my name
Became the tops at my game in a field I nearly own
Could I sleep alone if id been a man
I'd make the rules
Suffer no fools
In full command of my ship like a captain of the helm
Monarch of my realm
Master of my plan
A man can be an absent parent
Stray the way a woman daren't
Build an empire for his sons
And everyone's his fan
I love only men I can't caress two sons ashamed of my success
Would they loathe me less if I'd been a man
Not a chump, a contender
If I'd been a man
It's the curse of my gender
What man has half the balls that I have
Rides the peaks and falls that I have
Why are they the proud and tall
And I'm the old and bad
Though I've come a long long way,
I know and have the scars for it to show
How far could I go if 'Id been a man
If I'd been a man
If I'd been a man
Would I win if I'd have been a, a man
