Emerson Drive

If you were my girl

Emerson Drive


(Richard Marx/David Cole/Pat Allingham/Patrick Bourque/ Danick Dupelle/Brad Mates/Mike Melancon)

I watch the way he looks at you 
He don't see you like I do 
He never speaks the words I long to say 

He don't know that what he's got 
Is everything I'll ever want 
I can't keep this inside one more day 

Chorus:
If you were my girl 
My feet would never touch the ground 
If you were my girl 
My heart would shout your name out loud 
I could conquer the world 
If you were my girl 

You're the prayer I pray when I'm on my knees 
The oxygen that lets me breathe 
The flame that burns inside me all the time 

Every note of a beautiful melody
The perfect rhyme in poetry 
Baby, you are everything but mine 

Chorus 2:
If you were my girl 
My feet would never touch the ground 
If you were my girl 
My heart would shout your name out loud 
There's nothing that I could not do 
If it was you I came home to 
I could conquer the world 
If you were my girl 

Baby, I swear this flame will burn eternally 
So keep your eyes open, jump on in 
You will see what you need is me 
If you were my girl 

Oh, I'd never want to see you cry 
You're with him and I don't know why 
What a different world 
If you were my girl 

I would conquer the world 
If you were my girl
