What If It Was You Lyrics

What If It Was You lyrics

See her on the street 

Selling her body just to make ends meet 

Every day's the same sad story 

She prays but no one answers back 

A soul who never had a chance 

Don't you laugh at her misfortune 

Everyone can take a fall 

If you were walking in those footsteps 

Wouldn't laugh at all 



What if it was you standing on the street 

What if it was you without enough to eat 

What if it was you with nothing left to lose 

What if it was you standing in those shoes 

What if it was you all alone out there 

Didn't have a choice didn't have a prayer 

What if it was you down on your luck 

What if it was you and no one gave a... 



He's there everyday 

Askin' hey mista' can you spare some change 

Why don'tcha get a job is all they say 

You live with no such thing as pride 

You're living just to stay alive 

Don't you laugh at his misfortune 

Anyone can take his place 

If you were walking in those footsteps 

Wouldya' feel the same 



What if it was you standing on the street 

What if it was you without enough to eat 

What if it was you with nothing left to lose 

What if it was you standing in those shoes 

What if it was you all alone out there 

Didn't have a voice didn't have a prayer 

What if it was you down on your luck 

What if it was you and no one gave a... 



What if everyday you woke up without knowing 

How you gonna eat, where you gonna sleep 

What if hard times hit you would you be so quick to 

Judge another judge your brother 

Or would you feel how it would be in their shoes 

Don't you laugh at their mistfortune 

Everyone can take a fall 

If you were walking in those footsteps 

Wouldn't laugh at all 



What if it was you standing on the street 

What if it was you without enough to eat 

What if it was you with nothing left to lose 

What if it was you standing in those shoes 

What if it was you all alone out there 

Didn't have a choice didn't have a prayer 

What if it was you down on your luck 

What if it was you and no one gave a...
