IF I WAS THE ONE
Ohh oh, no no no, baby
Listen
I see the way he treats you
I feel the tears you cry
And it makes me sad
And it makes me mad
There's nothing I can do baby
Cuz your lover is my best friend
And I guess that's where the story ends
So I gotta try to keep it inside
You will never be, never be mine
But...
Chorus
If I was the one who was loving you baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
And if it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life
If I could have just one wish
I'd wish that you were mine
I would hold you near
Kiss away those tears
I'd be so good to you baby
You're the one I want next to me
But I guess that's just not meant to be
He's there in your life, sharing your nights
It'll never be, never be right
Chorus
If I was the one who was loving you baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
And if it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life
I wanna reach out and feel you beside me
Right here beside me, baby
Take you in my arms now
Scream I love you right out loud
Some day I pray that I'll find the strength
To turn to you and say...
Chorus x2
If I was the one who was loving you baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
And if it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life
If I was the one who was loving you baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
And if it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life
If I was the one
If I was the one
In your life
Ohh oh, no no no, baby
Listen
I see the way he treats you
I feel the tears you cry
And it makes me sad
And it makes me mad
There's nothing I can do baby
Cuz your lover is my best friend
And I guess that's where the story ends
So I gotta try to keep it inside
You will never be, never be mine
But...
Chorus
If I was the one who was loving you baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
And if it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life
If I could have just one wish
I'd wish that you were mine

Kiss away those tears
I'd be so good to you baby
You're the one I want next to me
But I guess that's just not meant to be

It'll never be, never be right

If I was the one
If I was the one
In your life
