If I Were You
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
(If I were you)
Let's say that you were me
We'd do things differently
Cut out all the fear and lies
(If I were you)
Then maybe you could see
The possibility to compromise
If I were you
I would look at all the quarrelling 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
(If I were you)
Let's say that you were me
We'd do things differently
And cut out all the hurt and pain
(If I were you)
Then maybe you could see
The possibility to love again
If I had the choice
You would make yourself heard
Without raising your voice
In my master plan
You could get your own way
Without raising your hand
(If I were you)
I don't want to be the one
Getting it wrong time after time
I no longer want to play games
For any reason or rhyme
Nobody's asking you to do something
You don't want to do
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
But you don't even try
If I were you
If I were you
(If I were you)
If I were you
If I were you
Si Yo Fuera Tú
Si yo fuera tú
No lastimaría a los que amas de la forma en que lo haces
No los haría llorar
Si yo fuera tú
Aprendería a ver el punto de vista de los demás
Tú ni siquiera lo intentas
(Si yo fuera tú)
Digamos que tú fueras yo
Haríamos las cosas de manera diferente
Eliminaríamos todo el miedo y las mentiras
(Si yo fuera tú)
Entonces tal vez podrías ver
La posibilidad de comprometerse
Si yo fuera tú
Miraría todas las peleas que tenemos
Porque eso no ayuda en absoluto
Si yo fuera tú
Daría un poco de crédito donde se merece
Esa sería mi decisión
(Si yo fuera tú)
Digamos que tú fueras yo
Haríamos las cosas de manera diferente
Y eliminaríamos todo el dolor y la pena
(Si yo fuera tú)
Entonces tal vez podrías ver
La posibilidad de amar de nuevo
Si tuviera la elección
Te harías escuchar
Sin levantar la voz
En mi plan maestro
Podrías salirte con la tuya
Sin levantar la mano
(Si yo fuera tú)
No quiero ser la persona
Que se equivoca una y otra vez
Ya no quiero jugar juegos
Por ninguna razón o rima
Nadie te está pidiendo que hagas algo
Que no quieras hacer
Si yo fuera tú
No lastimaría a los que amas de la forma en que lo haces
No los haría llorar
Si yo fuera tú
Aprendería a ver el punto de vista de los demás
Pero ni siquiera lo intentas
Si yo fuera tú
Si yo fuera tú
(Si yo fuera tú)
Si yo fuera tú
Si yo fuera tú
