A car goes by and I see a face
A stranger's face in the window
And I wish it wasn't you
I'm in a room, it's a crowded room
A friend walks up to say hello
And I wish it wasn't you
'Cause every moment that haunts my mind
Is just another reason why
Chorus
(I wish it wasn't you)
The phone rings in the middle of the night
The doorbell in the broad daylight
A lettter in the mail that I come home to
(I wish it wasn't you)
When I see two people on the street
Touchin'like they don't care who sees
Laughin' the way we used to do
I wish it was me and I wish it was you
I wish it was me and I wish it was you
I'll meet someone who could be the one
But something always happens
Before the night is through
There's that old familiar pattern
And I wish it wasn't you
telling me that you'll be back someday
And I don't have to feel this way
Repeat Chorus Twice
I wish it wasn't you
I wish it wasn't you
