I see the way he treats you
I see the way he treats you
I feel the tears you cry
I feel the tears you cry
And it makes me sad and it makes me mad
And it makes me sad and it makes me mad
There's nothin' I can do, baby
There's nothing I can do, baby
Your lover is my best friend
Your lover is my best friend
And I guess that's where the story ends
And I guess that's where the story ends
So I've gotta try to keep it inside
So I've gotta try to keep it inside
You'll never be, never be mine
You'll never be, never be mine
But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
You'd never know one lonely night
If it was my arms you were running to
If it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life
If I was the one in your life
If I could have just one wish
If I could have just one wish
I'd wish that you were mine
I'd wish that you were mine
I would hold you near, kiss away those tears
I would hold you near, kiss away those tears
I'd be so good to you, baby
I'd be so good to you, baby
You're the one I want next to me
You're the one I want next to me
But I guess that's just not meant to be
But I guess that's just not meant to be
He's there in your life, he's sharing your nights
He's there in your life, he's sharing your nights
I'll never be, never be, never be right
I'll never be, never be, never be right
But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
You'd never know one lonely night
If it was my arms you were running to
If it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life
If I was the one in your life
I want to reach out and feel you beside me, beside me
I want to reach out and feel you beside me, beside me
Right here, right now, right beside me baby, baby
Right here, right now, right beside me baby, baby
And take you in my arms right now
And take you in my arms right now
And scream I love you right out loud
And scream I love you right out loud
And then someday I'll pray I'll find
And then someday I'll pray I'll find
I'll find the strength to turn to you and say
I'll find the strength to turn to you and say
But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
And if I was by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
You'd never know one lonely night
If it was my arms you were running to
If it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one, if I was the one, the one
If I was the one, if I was the one, the one
If I was the one in your life
If I was the one in your life
