If I Was The One
Luther Vandross

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

'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'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
