I see the way he treats you,
 I feel the tears you cried,
 And it makes sad, and it makes mad,
 There's nothing I can do baby.
 Cause your lover is my best friend,
 And I guess that's where they 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'll 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'll 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 view beside me,
 Right here beside me, babe.
 Take you in my arms right there,
 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.
 And if I was by your side,
 You'll 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'll 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
