If I were you

You're like some kinda lightning

You say all of the right things

You got me coming alive

After all of the hurt I've had

Hate how he's still got me

Blame it on bad timing

You shouldn't come so close

When you're looking at me like that

If I were you

I would be running, I would be leaving now

If I were you I wouldn't look back

Oh, but I want you to

Keep me in the back of your mind

Maybe call me up sometime

In a couple-a years if you haven't found somebody new

That's what I would do

If I were you

You wish I didn't miss him

And I wish I could kiss you

And have you be the only one that I'm thinking about

And I'm not strong enough to

Resist for the both of us

If you stay I'm gonna break your heart

I would make it stop before it starts

If I were you

I would be running, I would be leaving now

If I were you I wouldn't look back

Oh, but I want you to

Keep me in the back of your mind

Maybe call me up sometime

In a couple-a years if you haven't found somebody new

That's what I would do

If I were you

Who could do without you?

Baby, I have no doubt

You'll have found somebody else

By the time I figure it out

That's what I would do, mmm

If I were you

If I were you

I would be running, I would be leaving now

If I were you I wouldn't look back

Oh, but I want you to

Keep me in the back of your mind

Maybe call me up sometime

In a couple-a years if you haven't found somebody new

That's what I would do

If I were you
