If I were you
Here’s what I’d do
I’d give my heart a break
Instead of trying to break my heartIf I were you
I’d do this too
I’d string along with me
Instead of keeping me on a stringI’d love me the whole day long
You’d never catch me napping
Wouldn’t have a change of heart
Not for fear
That such a thing should happenIf I were you
Here’s what I’d do
I’d stick to me
My whole life through
If I were you(bridge)
If I were you
Here’s what I’d do
I’d stick to me
My whole life through
If I were you
