If I Had My Way
Bobby Valentino Lyrics

Wuddup (uh huh)
It's your boy, Bobby V.
I'm back, girl (uh huh)
If I had my way...
If I had my way, it'll be you and me (DTP)
For real (Dark child)
Let's make it happen (Bobby V)
If I had my way...
Slowly we both regret our oaths to somehow be faithful, but we both know
That we're missing out on love, and we feel it when we see each other
And we're with the ones we don't love
Girl, you know I know the way we feel ain't gon' change
[Chorus:]
If I had my way
She wouldn't be with me
He wouldn't be with you
It would be you and me
If I had my way
You would give in to me
And you'd be here next to me
And you would tell him to leave
If I had my way
It so crucial we're on this road together; it's always been inevitable
That you got yourself a man, and I got myself a friend
We both know that if we act on this how far it will go
Girl, you know I know the way we feel ain't gonna change, oh girl
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Baby, you know this feels so right, you and I
And we know that the time is right for us to shine
I'm a tell my girl that she's gotta bounce, baby
And you gon' tell your man he needs to be out
[Chorus x 2]
(If I had my way...)
My way, my way
My way, my way
My way, my way
My way, my way
(If I had my way...)
My way, my way
My way, my way
My way, my way
My way, my way
(If I had my way...)
