I wish I could believe
There's somebody else
Somebody else out there for me
They say I'm naive
And I got more then one chance
But who are they to change how I feel?

I know they call you names
'Cause you're out there playing games with every guy
And it makes me cry
Don't you know it?
But I will wait for you 'til the trying times are through
And I'll forgive
If you'll be mine

[Chorus]
I could be him
I could be him
I could be that guy you need
I could be him
I could be him
You don't have to run no more
I could be him
I could be him
You're the only one for me
I could be him
I could be him
All right now

Girl you get around like a junky on the train
When do think you'reever reaching home?
God knows I've been down got up and fell again
How can you hurt me when there's no ending to my fall?

I know they call you names
'Cause you're out there playing games with every guy
And it makes me cry
Don't you know it?
But I will wait for you 'til the trying times are through
And I'll forgive
If you'll be mine

[Chorus]
I could be him
I could be him
I could be that guy you need
I could be him
I could be him
You don't have to run no more
I could be him
I could be him
You're the only one for me
I could be him
I could be him
All right now

How many hearts will break before it's too late?
How many tears will fall in vain?
How many dreams will die and questions why?
Before you realize
Before you realize you made a mistake

[Chorus]
I could be him
I could be him
I could be that guy you need
I could be him
I could be him
You don't have to run no more
I could be him
I could be him
You're the only one for me
I could be him
I could be him
All right now

I could be him
I could be him
I could be that guy you need
I could be him
I could be him
You don't have to run no more
I could be him
I could be him
You're the only one for me
I could be him
I could be him
All right now
