Lyrics:

Oh girl, if had you I would be a king
And girl, if you were mine, I'd have everything
That's the way I feel about you,
so please don't tell me to go
There's so much I want to tell you,
and so much I gotta know

If you were mine I'd treat you like a lady
And no one would ever see you cry
And girl, you smile would not be shady
If you were mine they wouldn't wonder why

Oh girl, if I had you, you would not deceive
And girl, I if you were mine you would never leave
There would be no bad games, baby,
and I would love you for the rest of my life
I would make you happy, baby,
but you're someone else's wife

If you were mine I'd treat you like a lady
And no one would ever see you cry
And girl, you smile would not be shady
If you were mine they wouldn't wonder why

If you were mine I'd treat you like a lady
And no one would ever see you cry
And girl, you smile would not be shady
If you were mine they wouldn't wonder why

But hearts often make the wrong choises
And love is not a thing you can control
So you won't listen to all those warning voices

And then later you're bound to lose your soul

If you were mine I'd treat you like a lady
And no one would ever see you cry
And girl, you smile would not be shady
If you were mine they wouldn't wonder why

If you were mine I'd treat you like a lady
And no one would ever see you cry
And girl, you smile would not be shady
If you were mine they wouldn't wonder why
