If she'd only knew what I was thinking If she'd only knew what was in my head Why can't she see my heart is breaking She'd be mine if it weren't for him. So many times I dreamed I had her I call her name when I lay down Still I can't learn to live without Her jealous heart is all I found. See your face would be my destiny Now I won't take what you can give to me This lonely place is all I hope to find If it weren't for him then you'd be mine. If he'd only knew what I was thinking If he'd only knew what was in my head Why can't he see my heart is breaking He'd be mine if it weren't for him. You'd be mine if it weren't for him
