If I Were You - Terri Clark

If I were a boy, even just for a day I'd roll outta bed in the mornin' And throw on what I wanted, then go Drink beer with the guys And chase after girls I'd kick it with who I wanted And I'd never get confronted for it 'Cause they'd stick up for me If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I'd be a better man I'd listen to her 'Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted 'Cause he's taken you for granted And everything you had got destroyed If I were a boy I would turn off my phone Tell everyone it's broken So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone I'd put myself first And make the rules as I go 'Cause I know that she'd be faithful Waitin' for me to come home, to come home If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I'd be a better man I'd listen to her 'Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted (wanted) 'Cause he's taken you for granted (granted) And everything you had got destroyed It's a little too late for you to come back Say it's just a mistake Think I'd forgive you like that If you thought I would wait for you You thought wrong But you're just a boy You don't understand Yeah, you don't understand, oh How it feels to love a girl, someday You'll wish you were a better man You don't listen to her You don't care how it hurts Until you lose the one you wanted 'Cause you've taken her for granted And everything you have got destroyed But you're just a boy

If you were there, beware The serpent soul pinchers Three hundred and fifty no thank yous and nobody flinches Go on girl go on, give us something gruesome We require your grief, the thugs help the thieves As they're trying to rob the words from her gob Take the source of the innocents If you were there, beware The serpent soul pinchers Can't you sense she was never meant To fill column inches And you've had enough, what you're trying to dig up Isn't there to be dug, the thieves help the thugs As they're trying be the good grace of a sweetheart Out to the point she'll comply Why leave her on her own If I'd have known then I wouldn't have said it I wouldn't have said it if I would have known Why leave her on her own If I predicted tears then I wouldn't have said it I wouldn't have said it if I would have known There's a circle of witches, ambitiously vicious they are Our attempts to remind them of reason won't get us that far I don't know what it is that they want I don't know what it is that they want But I haven't got it to give She hasn't got it to give

One, two, three, four If I were the devil, first thing that'd I'd do Is I'd come off like I ever gave a damn about you I'd let you catch a peak of all your greatest desires And I'd watch the flames in your eyes burn like hellfire Find all the wolves in the land And I'd make them fight each other Tooth and nail and hand to hand Find all the sheep, make 'em stir up the pot 'Cause once the wolves have killed each other Sheep are what I want The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if he's red, and I don't know if he's blue One thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground As I place that thorny crown on my furrowed brow Well, I'd shine in all the tears of joy, yellin' from the crowd I'd want to brainwash some parents, and I'd have the world I'll be in every schoolhouse lecturin' little boys and girls The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you But one thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground Mmm Mmm, mmm, mmm For my final act, I'll tell you what'd it'd be I'd have everyone so medicated, they could never see My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised And the best part of it all is they'd comply with their demise The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you One thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground If I were the devil, this world was mine to see Well, I'd witness all the atrocities, and it'd probably frighten me So I'd run back home with a story to tell I'd tell all my demon friends that I always preferred Hell

One day soon, it's gonna happen just by chance You and I will just succumb to this romance On that day my love will find you And you'll discover what a wonder life can be And you will know how much I love you If we were lovers If we were more than just good friends I know how good it could be Just by the way you're looking at me As if we were lovers, if we were lovers I've waited so long for that day I think you feel the same way You try so hard not to give it away Afraid that I'll discover What in your heart you know, is meant to be Darlin' if you want it to be me To be the one to say, I want you Then I'm telling you now Gonna find a way somehow, to be your lover And spend the whole night making love Then find it's never enough Just think what we are giving up Every day that we're not lovers Few times in our lives can we feel this way It would be a shame just to throw it away Time is slipping by, we don't know what's ahead I don't want to look back and have any regrets One day soon, it's gonna happen just by chance You and I will just succumb to this romance On that day my love will find you And you'll discover what a wonder life can be And you will know how much I love you On that day my love will find you And you'll discover what a wonder life can be And you will know how much I love you How much I love you
