Someone Else - Beth Crowley

I’ve thought this through a thousand times

What I would do to make you mine

Other girls can play their games

I would rather play it safe

Nobody gets hurt that way

But if I were someone else

I’d be braver and I wouldn’t hesitate

To walk right up to you and say, «Dance with me»

If I were someone else

If you were someone else

The entire room would just fall away

To you, I’d be the only one in this place

If you were someone else

If I were someone else

The whole scene plays out in my head

The evening’s coming to an end

Suddenly, the lights are low

The DJ puts on something slow

The perfect chance to hold you close

And if I were someone else

I’d be braver and I wouldn’t hesitate

To walk right up to you and say, «Dance with me»

If I were someone else

If you were someone else

The entire room would just fall away

To you, I’d be the only one in this place

If you were someone else

If I were someone else

And, yes, this might be shaking ground

But I know where I stand

It’s not worth the fight

I’m fine with walking home alone tonight

But if I were someone else

I’d be braver and I wouldn’t hesitate

To walk right up to you and say, «Dance with me»

If I were someone else

If you were someone else

The entire room would just fall away

To you, I’d be the only one in this place

If you were someone else

If I were someone else
