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

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

If I was the one

In your life
