I see the way he treats
you I feel the tears you cry And it makes me sad and it makes me
mad There's nothin' I can do, baby Cuz your lover is my best
friend And I guess that's where the story ends So I've gotta try to keep
it inside You'll never be, never be mine
1 - But 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
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, he's sharing your nights I'll never be,
never be, never be right
Repeat 1
I want to reach out and feel
you beside me, beside me Right here, right now, right beside me baby,
baby And take you in my arms right now And scream I love you right out
loud And then someday I'll pray I'll find I'll find the strength to turn
to you and say
Repeat 1
If I was the one, if I was the one, the
one If I was the one in your life
