If I Were You
 

Written by S. Nicks and R. Nowels

Baby, how much closer can we be? I swear you've become a part of me Well, you are with me everywhere I go And if you feel it I already know Well, everything I say to you is true Well, I don't want to tell you what to do... But if I were you I would take the love I'm giving to you Yes, if I were you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If I were you I would trust in me like I trusted in you Yes, if I were you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I know what you're dreaming when you sleep Baby, you have secrets I will always keep And in every morning when we rise Well, I see my reflection in your eyes Every boy must learn to be a man Maybe I can help you, yes I can... But if I were you I would take the love I'm giving to you Yes, if I were you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If I were you I would trust in me like I trusted in you Yes, if I were you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Well, I believe that love is a living thing Born into our destinies From a single moment of inspiration And as it grows it changes our lives forever! Well, if I were you I would take the love I'm giving to you Yes, if I were you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If I were you I'd trust in me like I trusted in you Yes, if I were you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I know just what you feel I know just what you want Why can't you tell me that you're feeling like I do? And I do And you know that in I'm going to win I'l just play this game, play this game For the light that is in your eyes...

 


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

In this song, Stevie is appealing to someone to take the love she is offering. Apparently this person and she are already romantically involved...she's already a part of him, already knows everything about him. But he hasn't accepted her completely, and she wants him to do so - she's already trusted him completely. If he does accept her, his life will change forever! A fairly straightforward song from Stevie, for a change!
