I've thought this through a thousand times What I would do to make you mine Other girls can play their games I would rather play it safe Nobody gets hurt that way But if I were someone else I'd be braver and I wouldn't hesitate To walk right up to you and say: Dance with me If I were someone else If you were someone else The entire room would just fall away To you, I'd be the only one in this place If you were someone else If I were someone else The whole scene plays out in my head The evening's coming to an end Suddenly, the lights are low The DJ puts on something slow The perfect chance to hold you close And if I were someone else I'd be braver and I wouldn't hesitate To walk right up to you and say: Dance with me If I were someone else If you were someone else The entire room would just fall away To you, I'd be the only one in this place If you were someone else If I were someone else And, yes, this might be shaking ground But I know where I stand It's not worth the fight I'm fine with walking home alone tonight But if I were someone else I'd be braver and I wouldn't hesitate To walk right up to you and say: Dance with me If I were someone else If you were someone else The entire room would just fall away To you, I'd be the only one in this place If you were someone else If I were someone else
