Mike & The Mechanics - If I Were You lyrics

If I were you I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do I wouldn't make them cry If I were you I would learn to see the other point of view You don't even try Let's say that you were me We'd do things differently Cut out all the fear and lies Then maybe you could see The possibility to compromise If I were you I would look at all the quarreling we do Cause that's no help at all If I were you I would give a little credit where it's due That would be my call Let's say that you were me We'd do things differently And cut out all the hurt and pain Then maybe you could see The possibility to love again If I had the choice You would make yourself heard Without raising your voice In my master plan You could get your own way Without raising your hand I don't want to be the one Getting it wrong time after time I no longer want to play games For any reason or rhyme Nobody's asking you to do something You don't want to do If I were you I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do I wouldn't make them cry If I were you I would learn to see the other point of view But you don't even try If I were you
