(Billy Cowsill/Jeffrey Hatcher)
If I were you
Well I would turn my head
And hear this word I said to you
Not something else instead
And if you hear
What you should have heard
And if you know that every single word
Was ringing true
If I were you
If I were you
Believe me I will try
To see a different point of view
Like looking eye to eye
You see this laying here thinking I'm fine
And wondering why without even trying
Did he seem so cruel
If I were you
If you were me
Then maybe you'd see
What fools we can be
When only one side we'll see
Now tell it to me true
Now don't it tell on you
She see me standing there thinking it's fine
And wonders why without even trying
Could he seem so cruel
If you were me
Would you gaze into the mirror
The truth is looking back at you
Or do you think it's rude to stare
Cuz what you see is what you finally get
It looks to me, I haven't seen it as yet
But one day if you would see as I do
Then you'd feel the fool
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
