Oh girl, if had you I would be a king 
And girl, if you were mine, I'd have everything 
That's the way I feel about you, 
so please don't tell me to go 
There's so much I want to tell you, 
and so much I gotta know 

If you were mine I'd treat you like a lady 
And no one would ever see you cry 
And girl, you smile would not be shady 
If you were mine they wouldn't wonder why 

Oh girl, if I had you, you would not deceive 
And girl, I if you were mine you would never leave 
There would be no bad games, baby, 
and I would love you for the rest of my life 
I would make you happy, baby, 
but you're someone else's wife 

If you were mine I'd treat you like a lady 
And no one would ever see you cry 
And girl, you smile would not be shady 
If you were mine they wouldn't wonder why 

If you were mine I'd treat you like a lady 
And no one would ever see you cry 
And girl, you smile would not be shady 
If you were mine they wouldn't wonder why 

But hearts often make the wrong choises 
And love is not a thing you can control 
So you won't listen to all those warning voices 

And then later you're bound to lose your soul 

If you were mine I'd treat you like a lady 
And no one would ever see you cry 
And girl, you smile would not be shady 
If you were mine they wouldn't wonder why 

If you were mine I'd treat you like a lady 
And no one would ever see you cry 
And girl, you smile would not be shady 
If you were mine they wouldn't wonder why
