If I Was Your Man - Maxi Priest

"Floating above you Beyond the naked eye Blue dreams about you Keep playing in my mind Oh if I was Oh if I was your man Oh if I was Oh if I was your man I'm just a satellite So lazy in the breeze Ready to fly away, I need your gravity When I run down the path The turns look all the same And if I lose my way Your mind will call my name Oh if I was Oh if I was your man Oh if I was Oh if I was your man Let's go outside to a dark place Where the kitty cat hides Put on your fake wings Give the moon a ride When you're lonely for the angel inside 3: 30 in the morning is too easy for you But when it comes without a warning What are you gonna do this time? You gonna do this time? Floating above you Beyond the naked eye Blue dreams about you Comes rushing through my mind Branded with thoughts of you They're tattooed on my sou; Why don't they seem to fade Is what I'll never know Oh if I was Oh if I was your man Oh if I was Oh if I was your man Oh if I was Oh if I was your man "
