If You Were Mine

I see what he's doing to you
And it hurt me so
I wish I could steal you away
But you just won't go
Somethin's holdin' you close to him
Somethin' I can't see
But come that day that you've had enough
I pray you'd come running to me

'Cause if you were mine
You'd know how good love could be
And if you were mine 
I'd love you eternally
If you were mine

You know that I want you
Know that I need you

(Every time) Every time I see your face (your face)
*It lights up my day
But I watch you passin' me by
And me sky turns grey
Maybe someday you're gonna see
I'm the one for you
Till then I just have to wait
For my dreams to come true

'Cause if you were mine
You'd know how good love could be (could be)
And if you were mine 
I'd love you eternally
If you were mine

My friends keep tellin' me to let it go
But what I feel they'll never know
I can't stop my heart beatin' so strong for you
(So strong for you)
But you're with him and not with me
Baby it's as sad as it can be
 
'Cause if you were mine
You'd know how good love could be (could be)
And if you were mine 
I'd love you eternally
If you were mine
You'd know how good love could be (love could be)
And if you were mine 
I'd love you eternally

I wouldn't let you go, oh no
If you were mine
You now that I need you
If you were mine
I'm gonna need you, girl
If you were mine
I'm gonna need you, girl
I'm gonna need you, girl
If you were mine...

*He doesn't sing that line on the album!
