so if you were in my shoes you're
saying that you would basically have it made
well if i was in your boots i'm
telling you i would be making things my
way i'd take what's mine if i was
you you'd never catch me killing time if
i was you and i'd take everything that's
mine if i was you i'd go and
live my life if i was you if
i was you i'd wake up every day
and every day i'd save all my energy
for making everyday the someday i talk about
all the time i'd take what's mine if
i was you you'd never catch me killing
time if i was you and i'd take
everything that's mine if i was you i'd
try and live my life if i was
you if i was you i would refuse
to let anything pass me by i would
insist on a better life now if i
was you i'd know what to do
