If He Wanted To

You've been seeing this guy a few months now And when you fight, you work things out You think he's everything you thought you'd never get But every night when you close your eyes You finally let down the disguise You're not happy with the way things are turning out But as you fall asleep you tell yourself... "He's a good guy, I swear But only when you're not there" And "If he had the time he'd do the things he said he would" "He's only scared to get close" And you wish and pray and hope That he'll wanna be a better man for you But if he wanted to, he would You know things will never change Even when you take his last name You'll still be at the end of his list (The end of his list) And you can keep making up excuses And put up with all of his abuses But you were made for so much more "He's a good guy, I swear But only when you're not there" And "If he had the time he'd do the things he said he would" "He's only scared to get close" And you wish and pray and hope That he'll wanna be a better man for you But if he wanted to, he would He would He would He would He wouldn't curse the sky, he wouldn't make you cry He wouldn't make you feel like you have to lie To everyone you know He wouldn't make you feel so low "He's a good guy, I swear" But girl, you know that ain't fair Cuz there's a man out there, that don't compare And he'll feel like home He will pull you in close And you won't wonder, you'll just know And he won't have to tell you, 'cuz he'll show you If he wants to, then he will Oh, he will Oh, he will 'Cuz if he wanted to, he would Oh, he would He would He would He would He would If he wanted to, then he would
