(VERSE 1)

If I told you that I was wrong

and wanted you to come back home,

I'd be lying.

And if I said that we could work it out

and you shouldn't have any doubts,

I'd be lying.

And if I got down on my knees

in front of God above

and swore before the angels

I'd give you my love.



(CHORUS)

I'd be lying next to you tonight

holding on with my whole life.

Right back where I belong.

Looking deep into your eyes

Man enough to realize

that honey, I was wrong.

If I could swallow my pride

and put myself in your shoes

and tell you that I understand

why you feel the way you do

then baby, I'd be lying...

I'd be lying next to you.



(VERSE 2)

And if I told you that I loved you

and I put no one else above you,

I'd be lying.

And if I said you're the one for me

and I never set you free,

I'd be lying.

And if I somehow found the strength

to knock on your front door

and tell you face to face

I won't hurt you anymore.



(CHORUS)

I'd be lying next to you tonight.

Holding on with my whole life.

Right back where I belong.

Looking deep into your eyes

Man enough to realize

that honey, I was wrong.

If I could swallow my pride

and put myself in your shoes

and tell you that I understand

why you feel the way you do.

Then baby, I'd be lying...

I'd be lying next to you.



If I could swallow my pride

and put myself in your shoes

and tell you that I understand

why you feel the way you do.

Then baby, I'd be lying...

I'd be lying next to you.



Next to you...

If I told you I was wrong...

If I said that we could work it out...

If I got down on my knees...

Oh baby, I'd be lying...
