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

[Repeat *]

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

[Repeat * , *]

If I 
was the one, if I was the one
In your life
