Level 42 - If You Were Mine Lyrics

I been waiting here for so long Counting all the holes in my shoes You’ve been singing such a different song I ain’t gonna punch you in the eye Just ’cause you tell a crazy lie Even so . . . I knew how you would go . . . I’m always the last to know you’re trying to love me too You’ve been wasting so much time away Never seem to get through to you You’ve been lazy now it’s time to pay Who’s gonna be the one to say who’s gonna make the move today I won’t stand by . . . Asking you questions why . . . Not while you say you’re too shy to look me in the eye . . . If you were mine I’d never need to wipe the smile from my face It ain’t no crime What we’d achieve if we stayed in this place You said once I had a hold on you And I believed you first time around But now you don’t know what you’re trying to do So when you turn around and realise I’m not around to dry your eyes Then you’ll know . . . It’s crazy to let me go . . . You’re always the last to know I’m trying to love you too . . . If you were mine I’d never need to wipe the smile from my face It ain’t no crime What we’d achieve if we stayed in this place If you kept your promise baby Everything would stay the same But I can’t shake the feeling you’re searching maybe For another love to blame If you were mine I’d never need to wipe the smile from my face It ain’t no crime What we’d achieve if we stayed in this place Level 42 Lyrics If You Were Mine Lyrics
