if she were you

well, every time i try to love another, i never know exactly what to do, i'd like to tell her just how much i want her, and i could find the way if she were you, her eyes may shine for me and not another, her lonely arms reach out to hold me too, she wants to take your place and be my lover, and i could make her mine if she were you, i never knew how much i cared about you, till your memory made me a lovesick fool, when she speaks to me i hear you sweet voice calling, when i close my eyes your face comes into view, i remember how it hurt when i was falling, and i could fall again if she were you, i never knew how much i cared about you, till your memory made me a lovesick fool, she wants to take your place and be my lover, and i could make her mine if she were you, yes, i could make her mine if she was you
