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
