If She Were You
John Prine, Steve Goodman
Every time I try to love another
I never know exactly what to do
I'd like to tell her just how much I want her
And I could find the way if she were you
When she speaks to me I hear your sweet voice calling
When I close my eyes your face comes into view
I remember how it hurt when I was falling
But I could fall again if she were you
I never knew how much I cared about you
Til your memory made me a lovesick fool
She wants to take your place and be my lover
And I could make her mine if she were you
And I could make her mine if she were you
