If You Only Knew - Reba McEntire

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

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 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

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 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

You’d put your anger down

Turn around and go back home

If you only knew
