If I Were You
Elvis Presley · Elvis Country
But itÂ’s way in the morning before he turns out my life
ItÂ’s times like this my darling I can see
If I were you IÂ’d know that I love me
The great snowman IÂ’ve been called by all
But it looks like this time IÂ’m gonna fall
ItÂ’s times like this my darling I can see
Oooh if I were you IÂ’d know that I love me
Wind and rain and storm closinÂ’ in on me
IÂ’ve walked the streets alone with my self sympathy
Can you hear me saying hopefully
Oooh if I were you IÂ’d know that I love me
Wind and rain and storm closinÂ’ in on me
IÂ’ve walked the streets alone with my self sympathy
Can you hear me saying hopefully
If I were you IÂ’d know that I love me
Oooh if I were you IÂ’d know that I love me
If I were you IÂ’d know that I love me
