Lyrics

Buddy bernier / robert d. emmerich
If i were you
Here's what i'd do
I'd give my heart a break
Instead of trying to break my heart
It i were you
I'd do this too
I'd string along with me
Instead of keepin' me on a string
I'd love me the whole day long
You'd never catch me nappin'
Wouldn't have a change of heart
Not for fear
That such a thing should happen
It i were you
Here's what i'd do
I'd stick to me
My whole life through
It i were you
