If You Were Mine Lyrics

If You Were Mine lyrics

I been waiting here for so long
counting all the holes in my shoes
you`ve been singing such a different song
I ain`t gonna punch you in the eye
just `cause you tell a crazy lie

Even so . . .
I knew how you would go . . .
I`m always the last to know you`re trying to love me too

You`ve been wasting so much time away
never seem to get through to you
you`ve been lazy now it`s time to pay
who`s gonna be the one to say who`s gonna make the move today

I won`t stand by . . .
asking you questions why . . .
not while you say you`re too shy to look me in the eye . . .

If you were mine
I`d never need to wipe the smile from my face
it ain`t no crime
what we`d achieve if we stayed in this place

You said once I had a hold on you
and I believed you first time around
but now you don`t know what you`re trying to do
so when you turn around and realise
I`m not around to dry your eyes

Then you`ll know . . .
it`s crazy to let me go . . .
you`re always the last to know
I`m trying to love you too . . .

If you were mine
I`d never need to wipe the smile from my face
it ain`t no crime
what we`d achieve if we stayed in this place

If you kept your promise baby
everything would stay the same
but I can`t shake the feeling you`re searching maybe
for another love to blame

If you were mine
I`d never need to wipe the smile from my face
it ain`t no crime
what we`d achieve if we stayed in this place
