BILLIE HOLIDAY - IF I WERE YOU lyrics

Buddy Bernier / Robert D. Emmerich

If I were you

Here's what I'd do

I'd give my heart a break

Instead of trying to break my heart

It I were you

I'd do this too

I'd string along with me

instead of keepin' me on a string

I'd love me the whole day long

You'd never catch me nappin'

Wouldn't have a change of heart

Not for fear

That such a thing should happen

It I were you

Here's what I'd do

I'd stick to me

My whole life through

It I were you
