If I Was The One Lyrics by Luther Vandross

If I Was The One Lyrics

    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
