[Verse 1]
If i was Dme, I’d be the Aone
You’d run GtoA, when your world comes Dunder
I’d stand by Dyou, and i’d stand Atall
If i was GmeA, but i’m not at Dall
[Verse 2]
If i was Dme, i’d wear a Asmile
I’d be that Gguy that Alove life like a cDhild
And i’d have fDriends, they’d come aAround
If i was Gme, Abut im not right nDow
[Chorus]
Cuz im Gnot the man i Awas and i Dhaven’t Abeen for Gyears
DSo much more than blood’s running through my Aveins
And Gi have been the Acause of sleepless nDights anAd needless Gtears
DSomething else is taking hold of the rAeins
[Verse 3]
If i was Dme, i’d put it Adown
I’d hear the Gdoor and Anever turn Daround
I’d strong roaDd home, and make thingAs right
If i was GmeA, but im not Dtonight
[Chorus]
Cuz im Gnot the man i Awas and i Dhaven’t Abeen for Gyears
DSo much more than blood’s running through my Aveins
And Gi have been the Acause of sleepless nDights aAnd needless Gtears
DSomething else is taking hold of the rAeins
[Verse 4]
So lord hear my Dplea, im down on my Aknees
Help me to Gbe the Ame you want me to Dbe
Cuz my flesh is Dweak, but maybe you can Asee
An ounce of gGood that I can Ado
If I was Dme
[Outro]
