If I Were You Songtext
von Straitjacket Fits

If I were you my friend, I′d clear my head and start again
I'd try the new one on, admire the way it looks so good on
If I were you and yours was mine, I′d take like a dog to the water
All I could do with the brand new sway, oh
If I were you, I'd hold you and touch all the water
I wouldn't stay up too long
Maybe for just a while, long enough to feel the place where you live


If I were you my friend, I′d wear your dress and steal your friends
I′d watch the words I said and wash my mouth and start again
Unscrew the thread that changed your mind
And twist it the way that you would have
If I were you then you'd define
I′d do it the way that you should have
And if I were you, I wouldn't come down so soon
If I were you, put on like a coat in the winter
I wouldn′t stay up so long
Maybe for just a while, pray on everything you think about, time I said
And I come, come too soon
Do, do do do, do do
Do, do, do do, ahh

If I were you, I wouldn't come down so soon
If I were you, give me something new to think about
If I were you, I wouldn′t trade places, no
And if I were you, I'd be like a light switched on in your room
