If I Had A Woman Like You

Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988), also known by the nickname 'The Big O', was an American singer-songwriter, best known for his distinctive, powerful voice, complex compositions, and dark emotional ballads.

Hey young and innocent girl 
You don't even know that I'm around 
One loving your world and he doesn't know what he has found 
Oh, I need you so 
But you wear a gold wedding ring 
If I had a woman, if I had a woman 
If I had a woman, a woman like you. 

True, you love your man 
You love him true like no one can 
Uh, what I would do to be in be in his shoes but I understand 
You're beautifully bound 
Tied up to love's silver chain 
If I had a woman, if I had a woman 
If I had a woman, a woman like you. 

Twilight finds me alone 
Midnight and I'm on my own 
I have numbers to phone but I don't have a woman like you 
I don't have a woman like you 

Lie, I'd tell a lie 
If I said I did not love you 
I know very well why all of my dreams cannot come true 
Here, I need you here 
But you wear a clear diamond stone 
If I had a woman, if I had a woman 
If I had a woman, a woman like you.
