If You Only Knew Lyrics - Reba Mcentire

(jane mariash, dianna rae) 

So here you are again 

Standing at my door 

You know I'd understand 

Well that's what friends are for 

What's he done this time 

What did he say 

To make you so darn mad 

That you're running away 

Now you say you want to be like me 

Independent and free

Chorus: 

But if you only knew 

What a single girl goes through 

The long working days and the lonley nights 

The empty I love yous 

Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone 

You'd put your anger down 

Turn around and go back home 

My life looks good to you 

I'm always in control 

No one to answer to 

But no one there to hold 

You see in my eyes you are the lucky one 

With loving arms that you can lean upon 

I'd give anything I could to say 

What you're throwing away 

Cause (repeat chorus) 

Photos 

I know it's hard to face that love ain't perfect everyday 

But I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place 

So (repeat chorus) 

You'd put your anger down 

Turn around and go back home 

If you only knew
