If I Were You Lyrics - Mike & The Mechanics

I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do 

I wouldn't make them cry 

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 

I would look at all the quarreling we do 

Cause that's no help at all 

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

I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do 

I wouldn't make them cry 

I would learn to see the other point of view 

But you don't even try
