That Look You Give That Guy Lyrics

I never thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
I see you with your man, your eyes just shine
While he stands tall and walkin' proud

That look you give that guy, I wanna see
Lookin' right at me
If I could be that guy instead of me
I'd never let you down

It always seems like you're goin' somewhere
Better than you've been before
Well, I go to sleep and I dream all night
Of you knockin' on my door

That look you give that guy, I wanna see
Lookin' right at me
If I could be that guy instead of me
I'd be all I can be
I'd be all I can be

I'm nothin' like what I'd like to be
I'm nothin' much, I know it's true
I lack the style and the pedigree
And my chances are so few

That look you give that guy, I wanna see
Lookin' right at me
If I could be that guy instead of me
I'd give you all I got

I never thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
But if let's say, it won't work out
You know where I can be found

That look you give that guy, I wanna see
Lookin' right at me
If I could be that guy instead of me
I'd never let you down, I'd never let you down
