| I’ve thought this through a thousand times
|
| What I would do to make you mine
|
| Other girls can play their games
|
| I would rather play it safe
|
| Nobody gets hurt that way
|
| But if I were someone else
|
| I’d be braver and I wouldn’t hesitate
|
| To walk right up to you and say, «Dance with me»
|
| If I were someone else
|
| If you were someone else
|
| The entire room would just fall away
|
| To you, I’d be the only one in this place
|
| If you were someone else
|
| If I were someone else
|
| The whole scene plays out in my head
|
| The evening’s coming to an end
|
| Suddenly, the lights are low
|
| The DJ puts on something slow
|
| The perfect chance to hold you close
|
| And if I were someone else
|
| I’d be braver and I wouldn’t hesitate
|
| To walk right up to you and say, «Dance with me»
|
| If I were someone else
|
| If you were someone else
|
| The entire room would just fall away
|
| To you, I’d be the only one in this place
|
| If you were someone else
|
| If I were someone else
|
| And, yes, this might be shaking ground
|
| But I know where I stand
|
| It’s not worth the fight
|
| I’m fine with walking home alone tonight
|
| But if I were someone else
|
| I’d be braver and I wouldn’t hesitate
|
| To walk right up to you and say, «Dance with me»
|
| If I were someone else
|
| If you were someone else
|
| The entire room would just fall away
|
| To you, I’d be the only one in this place
|
| If you were someone else
|
| If I were someone else |
