If I Were You
If I were you I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do
I wouldn't make them cry If I were you I would learn to see the other point of view
Where you don't even try
Let's say that you and me We do things differently
Cut out all the fear and lies
Then maybe you could see The possibility to compromise
If I were you I would look at all the quarreling we do
Girl there's no help at all
If I were you I would give a little credit where it's due
Well that would be my call
Let's say that you and me We do things differently
Cut out all the hurt and pain
Then maybe you could see The possibility to love again
If I had the choice You would make yourself heard
Without raising your voice In my master plan
You could get your own way Without raising your hand
I don't wanna be the one Getting it wrong time after time
I no longer wanna play games For any reason or rhyme
Nobody's asking you to do something You don't wanna do
If I were you I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do
I wouldn't make them cry
If I were you I would learn to see the other point of view
Where you don't even try
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
