If Only Howard Hewett

[Verse 1]
Truth be told, beautiful
You are Heaven's own, set to him here below
But he don't know what to do with an angel, no, no
He makes you cry, tells you lies
Girl, and I can't see why you're still standing by his side
(By his side)
What to do when I'm the man looking in
Trying to find a reason why you won't leave him behind

[Chorus]
Baby, if only you could see that he's no good
(If you chose me)
Baby, understand that (I'm your melody)
You're my harmony (Baby, can't you see?)
If only (Oh), if only

[Verse 2]
You used to laugh but now you're sad
You never know where he's at, or if he's even coming back
Take it from me, it gets cold when you're lonely, lonely, baby, hoo
(Baby) You're a precious jewel, my world you'll rule
And everything in between, help me, darling
You're my lifeline—how could you be so blind?
(Wasting your time on that man) It's a crime, baby
