Lyrics Johnnie Taylor

I Could Never Be President

If I became President

I know I won't last a day

I would lower all the taxes

Just to suit your taste

I'd bring home all the fellers

From over in Vietnam

Station them around your door

So the world can't do you no harm

I'd name every street in the city

Honey, after you

In the fight against poverty

There's no limit to what I'd do

I could never be President

Just as long as I'm lovin' you

I could never be President

Just as long as I'm lovin' you, you, yeah

Honey I would make you

The first lady of the land

Don't you know, I'd place Presidential

Powers in your hand

Congress would veto the first bill

I would pass

First would be, ?Tear the White House down

Build you a house of glass?

And stake out the Navy

On every downtown street

So your little feet won't get so tired

When you go on a shopping spree

I could never be President

Just as long as I'm lovin' you

I could never be President

Just as long as I'm lovin' you, you, auh, auh

I could never be President

I could never be President

Honey to make sure

You never, never have a care

I'd open up the door to Fort Knox

Tell you to help yourself

And give you a nation

If that didn't seem to do

I'd send up a Gemini player

To stake a claim on the moon for you

I could never be President

Just as long as I'm lovin' you

I could never be President

Just as long as I'm lovin' you

I'd give you a nation

If that didn't seem to do

I could never be your President

Just as long as I'm lovin' you

No baby

Just as long as I'm lovin' you, auh
