Reba mcentire if you only knew lyrics

(Jane Mariash, Dianna Rae)



So here you are again

Standing at my door

You know I'd understand

Well that's what friends are for



What's he done this time

What did he say

To make you so darn mad

That you're running away

Now you say you want to be like me

Independent and free



Chorus:

But if you only knew

What a single girl goes through

The long working days and the lonley nights

The empty I love yous

Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone

You'd put your anger down

Turn around and go back home



My life looks good to you

I'm always in control

No one to answer to

But no one there to hold

You see in my eyes you are the lucky one

With loving arms that you can lean upon

I'd give anything I could to say

What you're throwing away



Cause (Repeat Chorus)



I know it's hard to face that love ain't perfect everyday

But I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place



So (Repeat Chorus)



You'd put your anger down

Turn around and go back home

If you only knew
