Slippery People - If I Knew A Way Lyrics

If I knew a way to change your mind
I'd do it now and you'd be mine
Not that I'd own you but in your heart
We'd both do our best to be a part
Of each other's lives through thick and thin
Even though you know the shape that I've been in
And I'd support you in what you need
A sounding board or to sow your seeds
To pitch in when you're overwhelmed
Or you need someone to take the helm
Step on board and ride your whims
Be a good lover be a good friend
Not the kind who just says yes
But the kind that helps you to be your best
I'll stick by you when you're at your worst
When you feel your heart and brain are 'bout to burst
I'll work with you to make it right
Even if we have to talk it out 'til late at night
But try my best to set the scene
So that when we fight we fight clean

If I knew a way to change your mind
I'd do it now and you'd be mine
Not that I'd own you but in your heart
We'd both do our best to be a part
Of each other's lives
Each other's lives
Each other's lives
Each other's lives

Dance with you and I'll try to lead
This could be the practice that I need
Twirl you around and act a fool
Little bit for me a lot for you
Cheer you on in everything you do
Give you space to think and see the view
Sometimes you don't know why it is you cry
I won't lie to you pretending I know why
But you mean so much to me you make me smile
And if you just say the word I'll go the extra mile
Walk the dog in the wetlands 'mong the weeds
Drive the kids to wherever it is you need
When you feel anxious and in dismay
I'll add order where there's disarray

And in return you'd let me stay
To be with you for another day
And in return you'd let me stay
To be with you for another day
For another day
For another day
For another day
For another day
For another day
For another day
For another day
For another day
For another day
