If She Were You Lyrics - German Afternoons - John Prine

Well, everytime I try to love another 

I never know exactly what to do 

I'd like to tell her just how much I want her 

And I could find the way if she were you 

Her eyes may shine for me and not another, 

Her lonely arms reach out to hold me too, 

She wants to take your place and be my lover 

And I could make her mine if she were you 

I never knew how much I cared about you 

Till your memory made me a lovesick fool 

When she speaks to me I hear you sweet voice calling 

When I close my eyes your face comes into view 

I remember how it hurt when I was falling 

And I could fall again if she were you

I never knew how much I cared about you 

Till your memory made me a lovesick fool 

She wants to take your place and be my lover 

And I could make her mine if she were you 

Yes, I could make her mine if she was you
