I see the way he treats you
I feel the tears you cry and it makes me sad and it makes me mad
there's nothing i can do, baby cos your lover is my bestfriend
and i guess thats where the story ends
so i gotta try to keep it inside, you will never be mine but

Chours:
If i was the one who was loving you, baby
If only tears you cry would be tears of joy
And If i was by your side,
you'd never know one lonely night
if it was my arms you were running to
i'd give, love in these arms of mine
If i was the one in your life

If i could have just one wish, i'd wish you were mine
and i would hold you near, kiss away those tears
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, sharing your life
he will never be, never be right

Chours:
If i was the one who was loving you, baby
If only tears you cry would be tears of joy
And If i was by your side,
you'd never know one lonely night
if it was my arms you were running to
i'd give, love in these arms of mine
If i was the one in your life

I wanna reach out and feel you beside me, right here beside me babe
take you in my arms right now, scream i love you right aloud
Someday i pray that i'll find the strength to turn to you and say

Chours:
If i was the one who was loving you, baby
If only tears you cry would be tears of joy
And If i was by your side,
you'd never know one lonely night
if it was my arms you were running to
i'd give, love in these arms of mine
If i was the one in your life

Id i was the one babe, if i was the one
if i was the one in your life

Chours:
If i was the one who was loving you, baby
If only tears you cry would be tears of joy
And If i was by your side,
you'd never know one lonely night
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 was the one, if i was the one
in your life
