If You Were Mine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You wouldn't give my love a try
Instead you found someone who makes you cry
Oooh oooh ooh, my how you've changed
I guess your heart can't - can't take the strain
[Chorus]
But if you were mine, you wouldn't have to cry
If you were mine, you wouldn't have to sigh
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Hmm yes (oh yes)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Verse 2]
You walked through my eye
With your head held high
You had only hurt on your mind
'Cause look, look at you now
Being hurt has changed you somehow
[Chorus]
Oh, but if, if you were you mine, you wouldn't have to cry
If you were mine, you wouldn't hurt inside
Yeah, hey yes (oh yes)
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
You wouldn't give my love a try
Instead you found someone who makes you cry
Oooh oooh ooh, my how you've changed
I guess your heart can't - can't take the strain
[Chorus]
But if you were mine, you wouldn't have to cry
If you were mine, you wouldn't have to sigh
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Hmm yes (oh yes)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Verse 2]
You walked through my eye
With your head held high
You had only hurt on your mind
'Cause look, look at you now
Being hurt has changed you somehow
[Chorus]
Oh, but if, if you were you mine, you wouldn't have to cry
If you were mine, you wouldn't hurt inside
Yeah, hey yes (oh yes)
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Verse 3]
You took her love instead of mine
Now she's grown tired of you
And left you behind
Oooh, look at you now
Tears have taken the place of the smile on your face
[Chorus]
Oh oh, if you were mine
You wouldn't, you wouldn't have to cry
If you were mine, you wouldn't have to sigh
Ohh oh oh yes (oh yes)
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Ohh oh yes (oh yes)
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Outro]
(Oh yes) oh yes
(Oh yes) mm hmm hmm yes
(Oh yes) yes, yes, yes
Yeah, yeah
You took her love instead of mine
Now she's grown tired of you
And left you behind
Oooh, look at you now
Tears have taken the place of the smile on your face
[Chorus]
Oh oh, if you were mine
You wouldn't, you wouldn't have to cry
If you were mine, you wouldn't have to sigh
Ohh oh oh yes (oh yes)
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Ohh oh yes (oh yes)
Ohh yes (oh yes)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Outro]
(Oh yes) oh yes
(Oh yes) mm hmm hmm yes
(Oh yes) yes, yes, yes
Yeah, yeah
