I see the way he treats you,
I feel the tears you cried,
And it makes sad, and it makes mad,
There's nothing I can do baby
Cause your lover is my best friend,
And I guess that's where they story ends
So I've gotta try, to keep it inside
You will never be, never be mine but,

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'll 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,
And he's sharing your nights,
It'll never be, never be right

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'll 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

Yeah, baby
I wanna reach out and view beside me,
Right here beside me, babe
Take you in my arms right there,
Scream 'I love you' right out loud
Some day I pray, that I'll find the strength,
To turn to you and say,

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'll 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'll 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
