If I Were You
W.O.D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could only be the queen of popularity
Things would just come to me so easily
What I would do
What I could do

If I could always be Miss congeniality
No one could stand to be away from me
What I would do
What I could do

I could do anything
If I were you
I would have everything
If I were you

What I would do
What I could do

I could do anything
If I were you
I would have everything
If I were you

I could do anything
If I were you
I would have everything
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you




If I were you
If I were you
