If You Were a Woman and I Was a Man

"If You Were a Woman and I Was a Man" is the third track from SPARKLE like you mean it: ROBEE'S BALLAD by Robee Sonee and the Tomgirls. It is a cover of the song "If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man)" by Bonnie Tyler, and is the second butchering cover of Bonnie Tyler that Chris has done. Considering Chris's rampant homophobia, it's interesting that Chris, being a "straight male," is singing to someone "If [he] were a woman." This is somewhat duress-inducing given that Chris has in the past shown us that he can competently change the gender roles in a song he's singing.

Lyrics

Wo, wooo, woooo, wo …

[Late start] -‘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 ‘chu, you look away.
Why do you say “we’re night and day”
I’d like to try another way.
Oh baby, we’re-w-we’re just one day.

If you were a woman, and I was a man,
Would it be so hard to understand?
That a hearts 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!

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?

I look at ‘chu, you look away,
Why do you say, “we’re night and day”.
I’d like to try another day,
(sudden stop) … Oh darlin’… just one more day.
If you were a woman, and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand?
Cause-cause there-theres 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 tryin’ to love.
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 hearts 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!

… you were a woman, and I was a man!
It-It be so hard to understand?
That a hearts 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.

(Sings a few notes of the last instrumental)
Dun, dun dun dunnn …
