Ohh  oh,no  no  no,baby
Listen
I  see  the  way  he  treats  you
IF  I  WAS  THE  ONE
I  feel  the  tears  you  cry
And  it  makes  me  sad
And  it  makes  me  mad
There's  nothing  I  can  do  baby
Cuz  your  lover  is  my  best  friend
And  I  guess  that's  where  the  story  ends
So  I  gotta  try  to  keep  it  inside
You  will  never  be,never  be  mine
But...
Chorus
If  I  was  the  one  who  was  loving  you  baby
The  only  tears  you'd  cry  would  be  tears  of  joy
And  if  I  was  by  your  side
You'd  never  know  one  lonely  night
And  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  could  have  just  one  wish
I'd  wish  that  you  were  mine
I  would  hold  you  near
Kiss  away  those  tears
I'd  be  so  good  to  you  baby
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  nights
It'll  never  be,never  be  right
Chorus
I  wanna  reach  out  and  feel  you  beside  me
Right  here  beside  me,baby
Take  you  in  my  arms  now
Scream  I  love  you  right  out  loud
Some  day  I  pray  that  I'll  find  the  strength
To  turn  to  you  and  say...
Chorus  x2
If  I  was  the  one
If  I  was  the  one
In  your  life
