Saaxiib Qurux Badan

My love, everything I say to you is true
I don’t wanna tell you what to do
But if I were you
I would take the love I’m giving to you
Yes, if I were you
Well if, if I were you
I would trust in me like I trusted you
Yes, if I were you

Well, I believe that love is a living thing
Born into our destinies
From a single moment of inspiration
And as it grows it changes our lives forever

So, if I were you
I would take the love I’m giving to you
Yes, if I were you
Well if, if I were you
I would trust in me like I trusted you
Yes, if I were you

– “If I Were You”
by Rick Nowels and Stevie Nicks
(from the 1985 Stevie Nicks album,
Rock a Little)
