lyrics

If You Knew
© 1999 Ola Onabule

Chorus
If you knew what I know
You wouldn’t be standing in your shoes
Laughing while singing the blues to me

If you’d been where I've been
You wouldn’t be heading back that way
So carelessly saying what you say to me

Verse 1
It’s gonna be good
I’m gonna be fine
Did what i could
Now I’m gonna be fine

But It ain't down to you I’m better
And you didn’t do me single favour
When I was cracking under pressure
Ya thought I was beat but I guess I’m stronger oh yeah!

Verse 2
I’m willing to learn
It’s never too late
so long waiting my turn
But it ain’t ever too late

Why would I give up on the future
It’s the ultimate adventure
I think I made the perfect mixture
A bit of hope and peace to capture oh yeah

Mid 8

Big adventure straight ahead
You can lie but you made your bed
I got keys you can go inside
but ain’t no call for what you’ve implied
If you can’t then don’t show me love
sure ain’t what I been dying of
You put me down like I ain’t got talk
Just put me down I can sho’ nuff walk
