Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You hit me where it hurt
Left me face down in the dirt
You hit me with a cheap shot
Took me down, never gave it a thought
I never saw it coming especially from you
Right out of the blue
[Refrain]
If I were you
If I were you
[Verse 2]
And now you want to make up
Put aside this little shake up
I don’t know what else there is to say
It all belongs to yesterday
[Chorus]
Love and betrayal are not the best of friends
Getting back with you is the last thing on my mind
Without that feeling it goes against the grain
It can never be the same again
[Refrain]
If I were you
If I were you
I’ll think of something
When my blood runs cool
[Chorus]
Love and betrayal are not the best of friends
Getting back with you is the last thing on my mind
Without that feeling it goes against the grain
It can never be the same again
[Refrain]
If I were you
If I were you
I’ll think of something
When my blood runs cool
[Outro]
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
