Danny G & the Major 7ths - If You Were Mine Lyrics

I wonder what's the attraction, is it better than being alone
Why not take positive action, go get a love of your own
No, you shouldn't be someone's girl on the side
Losing your pride in a fantasy, just like me

I need to reach a conclusion, I can't keep living this way
Seems like love's an illusion
Seems like I don't have a say
See sometimes you want me and sometimes you don't
Wish that you would but I know you won't
That's when tears fall

Oh but If you were mine
I wouldn't keep you a secret
Wouldn't keep you hidden away
But if you were mine
I wonder if you believe it
Doesn't have to be this way
No, you shouldn't be someone's girl on the side
Losing your pride in a fantasy
Just like me

I used to think I was always right
Or is it that i'm too proud
Too busy digging the sunlight, I didn't notice the cloud
Well I used to be sure but now just confused
You start each day in a different mood
Tell me what to do with you

You can tell me it's over, but I know that's no guarantee
I need to know you're my baby, my baby's only with me
Maybe you need to be sad to be glad
Still holding on to a love you once had
That's when tears fall

Oh but If you were mine
I wouldn't keep you a secret
Wouldn't keep you hidden away
But if you were mine
I wonder if you believe it
Doesn't have to be this way
No, you shouldn't be someone's girl on the side
Losing your pride in a fantasy
Just like me

You came into my life
Sweet and lovely
You come at a price
And you never cared about it
You don't seem to mind
Share your loving with me
You don't make up your mind, no

Well I told you I would be there whenever you need to smile
Maybe you don't see just yet, sometimes it takes us a while
No, you don't love yourself like you should, but I do
That's when tears fall

Oh but If you were mine
I wouldn't keep you a secret
Wouldn't keep you hidden away
I wonder if you believe it
Doesn't have to be this way
No, you shouldn't be someone's girl on the side
No I wouldn't keep you a secret
You shouldn't be someone's girl on the side
Losing your mind in a fantasy
No, no
If you were mine
If you were mine, if you were mine
If you were mine, if you were mine
