Testo If I'd Been a Man - Christine Ebersole feat. Patti LuPone
Testo della canzone If I'd Been a Man (Christine Ebersole feat. Patti LuPone), tratta dall'album War Paint (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
If I had my say
If I could wish time away
And rewind my life somehow
Who would I be now
If I'd been a man?
Nothing to lose
No role to choose
Because a man on the move
Doesn't need to prove his worth
Knows his place from birth
Since the world began
A man can set aside his feelings
Be a shark in business dealings
Rise above the weak and small
And reach for all he can
I, alas, am neither, either/or
And so my guy walked out the door
Could I bear it more
If I'd 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 I'd 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
Straight away, 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
Could 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?
I'd be the prodigal
And I'm the also-ran
Though I've come a long, long way, I know
And have the scars for it to show
How far could I go
If I'd been a man?
If I'd been a man
If I'd been a man
Would I win if I had been a man?
