If I Was the One

I see the way he treats you
I feel the tears you cried
And it makes me sad, and it makes me mad
There's nothing I can do baby'Cause your lover is my best friend
And I guess that's where the story ends
So I've gotta try, to keep it inside
You will never be, never be mine butIf 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 lifeIf 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 babyYou're the one I want next to me
But I guess that's just not meant to be
He's there in your life and he's sharing your nights
It'll never be, never be rightIf 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 lifeYeah, baby, I wanna reach out and feel you beside me
Right here beside me, babe, take you in my arms right now
Scream, 'I love you' right out loud, some day I pray
That I'll find the strength to turn to you and sayIf I was the one who was loving you, baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
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 lifeIf I was the one baby, if I was the one
If I was the one in your lifeIf I was the one who was loving you, baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
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 lifeIf I was the one, if I was the one
In your life
