I see the way he treats you, I feel the tears you cried, And it makes me sad, and it makes me mad, There's nothing I can do baby. Cause 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 will never be, never be mine 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 And 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, And he's sharing your nights, It'll never be, never be right. 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 And 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. Yeah, baby. I wanna reach out and feel you beside me, Right here beside me, babe. Take you in my arms right now, Scream 'I love you' right out loud. Some day I pray, that I'll find the strength, To turn to you and say, If I was the one who was loving you, baby. The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy. If I was by your side, You'd never know one lonely night And 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 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 And 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 was the one, if I was the one, In your life.
