    Lyrics:
    If I was a better man
    Would fellow men take me to their hearts
    If I was a stronger man
    Carrying the weight of popular demand
    Tell me would that alarm her
    I'd never harm her at all
    If I was a soldier
    Captive arms I'd lay before her
    If I was a sailor
    Seven oceans I'd sail to her
    If I was a wiser man
    Would other men reach out and touch me
    If I was a kinder man
    Dishing up love for a hungry world
    Tell me would that appease her
    I want to please her again
    If I was a painter
    I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
    If I was a leader
    On food of love from above I would feed her
    If I was a poet
    All my love and burning words I would show it
    If I was her lover
    Her eyes in kisses I would cover
    Come here my baby
    Oh they can't touch you now
    I'll keep you safe and warm
    I'll never leave you at all
    Come here my baby
    Oh they won't touch you
    Dishing up love for a hungry world
    Tell me would that appease you
    I want to please you again
    If I was a soldier
    Captive arms I'd lay before her
    If I was a sailor
    Seven oceans I'd sail to her
    If I was a painter
    I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
    If I was a leader
    On food of love from above I would feed her
    If I was a poet
    All my love and burning words I would show it

    In the synth-pop song, the protagonist makes assurances to the loved one - apparently separated from him - about what he would do for them if he had different professions that gave him certain skills (sailor, soldier, poet, painter, leader ).In the quieter bridge, he asks her to return to him.
    If I Was was written by Midge Ure with Danny Mitchell of his touring support band The Messengers. In the liner notes on the compilation If I Was: The Very Best of Midge Ure & Ultravox, which was released and named after the song, Ure wrote:
    “This song is pure Danny Mitchell. I found a demo recording of it on a cassette Danny sent me for his band The Messengers. I grabbed it [the song] with both hands, played around with it, sprinkled it with fairy dust, and the rest is history.”
    - Midge Ure
    (In dem Synthie-Pop-Song macht der Protagonist der - offenbar von ihm getrennten - geliebten Person Zusicherungen, was er für sie tun würde, wenn er verschiedene Berufe hätte, die ihm bestimmte Fähigkeiten verliehen (Seemann, Soldat, Dichter, Maler, Anführer). In der ruhigeren Bridge fordert er sie auf, zu ihm zurückzukehren.
    If I Was wurde von Midge Ure gemeinsam mit Danny Mitchell von seiner Tour-Support-Band The Messengers geschrieben. In den Liner Notes auf der erschienenen und nach dem Song benannten Kompilation If I Was: The Very Best of Midge Ure & Ultravox schrieb Ure:
    „This song is pure Danny Mitchell. Ich habe eine Demoaufnahme davon auf einer Kassette gefunden, die Danny mir für seine Band The Messengers geschickt hatte. Ich habe ihn [den Song] mit beiden Händen gepackt, damit herumgespielt, ihn mit Feenstaub besprüht, und der Rest ist Geschichte.“
    - Midge Ure)
