If You Were My Girl lyrics

[Verse 1:]
I watch the way he looks at you
He don't see you like I do
I never speak the words I long to say
He don't know what he's got
Is everything I'll ever want
I can't keep this inside one more day

[Chorus:]
If you were my girl, my feet would never touch the ground
If you were my girl, my heart would shout your name out loud
I could conquer the world if you were my girl

[Verse 2:]
You're the prayer when I'm on my knees
The oxygen that lets me breathe
The flame that burns inside me all the time
You're every note of a beautiful melody
A perfect rhyme of poetry
Baby, you are everything but mine

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Baby I swear the flame will burn eternally
So keep your eyes open and jump right in
You will see what you need is me
If you were my girl

[Outro:]
Oh, I never want to see you cry
You're with him and I don't know why
What a different world
If you were my girl
I could conquer the world
IF you were my girl
