Lyrics & Music by:  Ian Mcleish
 
 

1.
Is he strong? Is he handsome? Does he make a lot of dough?
Does he beat you? Does he cheat on you? Is he someone that I know?
Does he rub your back and make you tea? Does he kiss you goodnight?
And does he really love you - the man you're with tonight?

2.
Now, he could be a young man - with dreams of going far;
Or he could be an older man with a big old fancy car -
Maybe he's a loving man who fills you with delight -
Is he what you expected - the man you're with tonight?

Bridge 1.
Are you watching the same moon as me?
Watching as it rises through the trees?
Are you thinking what I'm thinking - do you ever think of me?
And are you too wrapped up in him to see -
That the man you're with tonight could have been me?

Bridge 2.
Maybe you are all alone, not in somebody's arms;
But I don't think that's possible for a girl with all your charms...

3.
Now, will he trust and honour you in sickness and in health?
Will he be your best friend and put you before himself?
Will he listen to your fears and make every wrong go right?
How I wish I could trade places with the man you're with tonight -
Yeah babe I wish I could trade places with the man you're with tonight.
