What Was It Like Songtext
von Joan as Police Woman

I′d race to meet you at the top of the stairs
You'd come from working
You were always there for me
You′d scare the nightmares
Singing me an old song, you'd learn in Oshkosh
You were always there for me

Don't know what was it like to be you

You said, "I could never see what passing judgment
On anybody else would ever do for me"
But I love that you see the things that you couldn′t see
You showed me how to live


My dance recitals, they were never concise
You never missed one
You were always there for me
You told me softly that I had what it takes to make it anywhere
You were always there for me

Well, what was it like to be you?

You said, "I could never see what passing judgment
On anybody else would ever do for me"
But I love how you see the things that you couldn′t see
You showed me how to die

What was it like to be you?

You said, "I could never see what passing judgment
On anybody else would ever do for me"
Well, I love how you see the things that you couldn't see
You showed me how to see

And what to look for in a man
And what to look for in a man
And what to look for in a man


I′d race to meet you at the top of the stairs
You'd come from working
You were always there for me
