If You Were There, Beware - Arctic Monkeys

(Written by Terri Clark) You were standin' at my front door When I came home tonight And I could tell by the look you gave me You were needin' my advice You say you want more out of life than he can give you As a tear rolls down your face But girl, I've seen the way he looks at you And I know someone who'd gladly take your place. Chorus: If I were you I'd run back home tonight Tell him everything's all right Yeah, I know what I'd do If I were you I'd never let him go I'd have someone to hold My whole life through. If I were you. You shouldn't think you're missin' out on something Because you wear a wedding band 'Cause I can't seem to find somebody Who wants more than just a one night stand You know this single life I'm livin' Ain't all it's cracked up to be So you've come to the wrong place If what you want is sympathy. Chorus: If I were you I'd run back home tonight Tell him everything's all right Yeah, I know what I'd do If I were you I'd never let him go I'd have someone to hold My whole life through. Chorus: If I were you I'd run back home tonight Tell him everything's all right Yeah, I know what I'd do If I were you I'd never let him go I'd have someone to hold My whole life through. If I were you...
