If I Were Your Girl Lyrics

Brokenhearted
Unsatisfied
I can't help it I can't get you off my mind
She was so wrong
To treat you bad
She didn't know you were the best she'd ever had
If I were yours
And you were mine
I'd make sure that I could please you all the time

Chorus:
I'd be here waiting
I'd treat you right
If I were your girl
I'd keep up all night
Appreciate you
And so much more
That I would give you
If I were your girl

So frustrated
What do I do
I get excited when I'm standing next to you
Does she love you
Is she unkind
I don't know why you're there something isn't right
All the wonders
Of the world
Are the things that I would give if I were her
Chorus

I never felt this way inside
It's so hard, so very hard to hide
Cause I can see
That you don't receive
The things you deserve
I'd give you so much more
If I were your girl

Chorus to fade
