If I Were You Mike + the Mechanics

If I were you
I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do
I wouldn't make them cry

If I were you
I would learn to see the other point of view
You don't even try

Let's say that you were me
We'd do things differently
Cut out all the fear and lies

Then maybe you could see
The possibility to compromise

If I were you
I would look at all the quarreling we do
Cause that's no help at all

If I were you
I would give a little credit where it's due
That would be my call

Let's say that you were me
We'd do things differently
And cut out all the hurt and pain
