Emerson Drive - If You Were My Girl lyrics

(Richard Marx/David Cole/Pat Allingham/Patrick Bourque/

Danick Dupelle/Brad Mates/Mike Melancon)

I watch the way he looks at you

He don't see you like I do

He never speaks the words I long to say

He don't know that what he's got

Is everything I'll ever want

I can't keep this inside one more day

(Chorus:)

If you were my girl

My feet would never touch the ground

If you were my girl

My heart would shout your name out loud

I could conquer the world

If you were my girl

You're the prayer I pray when I'm on my knees

The oxygen that lets me breathe

The flame that burns inside me all the time

Every note of a beautiful melody

The perfect rhyme in poetry

Baby, you are everything but mine

(Chorus:)

If you were my girl

My feet would never touch the ground

If you were my girl

My heart would shout your name out loud

There's nothing that I could not do

If it was you I came home to

I could conquer the world

If you were my girl

Baby, I swear this flame will burn eternally

So keep your eyes open, jump on in

You will see what you need is me

If you were my girl

Oh, I'd never want to see you cry

You're with him and I don't know why

What a different world

If you were my girl

I would conquer the world

If you were my girl
