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 Chris's second Bonnie Tyler cover.

Considering Chris's rampant homophobia, it's interesting that Chris, being (formerly) a "straight male," is singing to someone "If [he] were a woman."

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 …
