If I Were You Songtext
von The Divine Comedy

If I were you, I′d look at me
And fail to see the things I see in you
If I were you

And if I were you, I wouldn't let the shit
You get from me get the better of you
If I were you

Don′t you ever wonder why
I could never make you cry

Well, if I were you, I'd ride away
To a pasture new where I could graze on
The grass so succulent and sweet
If I were you, I'd be through with me

If I were you, I wouldn′t need
To always read the magazines
That I do that for make me bloom


So, if I were you, I′d make the break
Before I take my frustrations out on you
Just break on through

Don't you ever in your dreams
Take a lover and make her scream

Well, if I were you, I′d ride away
To a pasture new where I could graze on
The grass so succulent and sweet
If I were you, I'd be through with me

Well, if I were you, I′d ride away
To a pasture new where I could graze on
The green, green grass of virgin country
I'd live real fast and die real young

You see, if I were you, I′d end my days
In a field of stupid sheep just grazing
The grass so succulent and sweet
If I were you, I'd be through with me
