Lyrics

This is intended to be tongue in cheek - humerous.
The demo singer doesn't get that across too well.

IF I WERE YOU

Okay I?m wrong, it?s my mistake.
One human slip, that?s all it was.
Don?t be mad, she?s gone for good,
I promise she?s the last.

Okay, okay, I know the score,
She?s not the first, she?s number four.
But what the heck, who?s counting.
No need to get upset.

If I were you I?d hold me tight.
I?d want to be with me all night.
If I were you, I?d want my man,
To be as perfect as I am.
If I were you, I?d love me.

What?s the point of getting angry,
She was just a one night stand.
Try to see my point of view,
I had some time to spare.

Now look what you have gone and done,
You?ve smashed that photograph of me,
Serves you right if I walked out,
That was mean and spiteful.

Just think again before you leave,
There?s not a lot like me out there.
You know you?ll miss me pretty soon,
You wont get lucky twice.

That?s my suitcase in the hall,
But I thought you were leaving me.
Okay, okay, I?m going,
But you?ll soon change your mind.

Come on girl, I know you love me,
Even when I play around.
You can?t resist me near you,
Now put that poker down.

Okay, alright, I get the hint,
You want me out of here right now.
I just don?t see the problem,
Why do you feel like this.

Good sounding song. The arrangement sounds really good and has a great Country feel too it. The recording production was good. Nice hook and toe-tapping kind of rhythm. Good sounding song all around.

really nice song well recorded ..a bit indie country ...like

i could see it as an album track or in a movie or tv prog
