If I Were You

(*Billy Cowsill/Jeffrey Hatcher)
 If I were you*
 Well I would turn my head
 And hear this word I said to you
 Not something else instead
 And if you hear
 What you should have heard
 And if you know that every single word
 Was ringing true
 If I were you
 If I were you
 Believe me I will try
 To see a different point of view
 Like looking eye to eye
 You see this laying here thinking I'm fine
 And wondering why without even trying
 Did he seem so cruel
 If I were you
 If you were me
 Then maybe you'd see
 What fools we can be
 When only one side we'll see
 Now tell it to me true
 Now don't it tell on you
 She see me standing there thinking it's fine
 And wonders why without even trying
 Could he seem so cruel
 If you were me
 Would you gaze into the mirror
 The truth is looking back at you
 Or do you think it's rude to stare
 Cuz what you see is what you finally get
 It looks to me, I haven't seen it as yet
 But one day if you would see as I do
 Then you'd feel the fool
 If I were you
 If I were you
 If I were you
 If I were you
 If I were you
