if i had my way

we wouldn't have to meet here

in this dark secluded place

to hide our faces

if i had it my way

you wouldn't have to say goodbye

then driving home dream up another alibi

if i had it my way

there'd be no more wrong numbers

when i call you on the phone

and she's there

and i wouldn't have to worry

she might find a moonlit strand of my hair

if i had it my way

love would not be touch and go

we'd lie here in the afterglow

till the break of day

if i had it my way

you would not keep leaving me

love would not be misery

you would always stay

if i had it my way
