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
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
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
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 you, you look away
Why do you say we're night and day?
I'd like to try another day
Oh, darling, for just one day
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
Hey, we're just two people trying to love
Oh, 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 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
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
