I Wish It Were Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He can hold you in his arms
He can whisper sweet words in your ears
He spends all night upstairs with you
He's the one to have you near
He spends so much time with thee
(Chorus):
(While) I wish it were me #2
I cannot sleep at night
There's some thought that drives me wild
To see you happy with this man I've never seen
I wanna see you happy, but happy with me
He's the one you want to see
(Chorus)
Sometimes when you have problems
You come knocking at my door
And I am glad to help you
Then I'm the one that you adore
But after let's say half an hour
When you are strong again
You kiss me on the cheek and say
See you then
I couldn't stand being your number two
There's no way of sharing you
With someone whose feeling's aren't true
He cannot have the love I have for you
Still he sleeps in your bed
