If I Were You
Lyrics
I'm at a stage where my head starts to clear
You're on my mind, but the pain isn't there like it once was
It don't hurt like it did when you left us
I have to admit that somewhere along the line
I could pretend like a card house and cry in the classroom
On the train, at the mall, on the bathroom floor
My confidence was at an all-time low
But that was then
Finally now, I know
I'd love me if I were you
I'd love me if I were you
Yeah, I'd come crawling back again
If I was in your shoes
I'd love me if I were you
I'd love me if I were you
Yeah, I come crawling back again
If I was in your shoes
If I were you
I was a girl you could bring to the parties
Stand there and smile by your side, sip Bacardi and ginger
You could tell all your friends, "She's a singer" (mm)
I gave you a chance, opened up like a book
But all you ever cared about was how I looked on the ground
So your friends all could think you're the man
My confidence was at an all-time low
But that was then
Finally now, I know
I'd love me if I were you
I'd love me if I were you
Yeah, I'd come crawling back again
If I was in your shoes
I'd love me if I were you
I'd love me if I were you
Yeah, I'd come crawling back again
If I was in your shoes
If I were you
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
If I were you, if I were you (if only I were you)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
(Love me if I were you)
I'd love me if I were you
I'd love me if I were you
Yeah, I'd come crawling back again
If I was in your shoes
But I'm not you
