I wish I could believe

There's somebody else

Somebody else out there for me

They say I'm naive

And I  got more then one chance 

But who are they to change how I feel? 



I know they call you names 

'Cause you're out there playing games with every guy

And it makes me cry 

Don't you know it? 

But I will wait for you 'til the trying times are through 

And I'll forgive 

If you'll be mine 



Refrain:

I could be him  

I could be him 

I could be that guy you need

I could be him 

I could be him  

You don't have to run no more  

I could be him  

I could be him  

You're the only one for me 

I could be him  

I could be him  

All right now 



Girl you get around like a junky on the train

When do think you'reever reaching home? 

God knows I've been down got up and fell again

How can you hurt me when there's no ending to my fall? 



I know they call you names 

'Cause you're out there playing games with every guy 

And it makes me cry 

Don't you know it?  

But I will wait for you 'til the trying times are through

And I'll forgive

If you'll be mine 



Refrain:

I could be him  

I could be him 

I could be that guy you need

I could be him 

I could be him  

You don't have to run no more  

I could be him  

I could be him  

You're the only one for me 

I could be him  

I could be him  

All right now 



How many hearts will  break before it's too late?

How many tears will fall in vain?

How many dreams will die and questions why? 

Before you realize

Before you realize you made a mistake 



Refrain:

I could be him  

I could be him 

I could be that guy you need

I could be him 

I could be him  

You don't have to run no more  

I could be him  

I could be him  

You're the only one for me 

I could be him  

I could be him  

All right now 



Refrain:

I could be him  

I could be him 

I could be that guy you need

I could be him 

I could be him  

You don't have to run no more  

I could be him  

I could be him  

You're the only one for me 

I could be him  

I could be him  

All right now
