If You Were A Woman - 1986

A Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire című lemezre Desmond Child is írt két dalt. Köztük az egyik, az If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man). A dalhoz videoklip is készült, melyet maga Steinman rendezett és 7 Billboard Video Awardsra jelölték. A klip egy férfi nővé való átalakulását mutatja be a "nőuralom" idején. Franciaországban ezüstlemezt kapott a 271 000 darab eladott single után, míg Venezuelában a toplista első helyére ugrott. Tyler 2004-ben feldolgozva adta elő újra Simply Believe című albumán.

If You Were a Woman (and I was a Man)

How'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 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 s 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, 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 e 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

Refrain
