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,
