We wouldn't have to meet here in this dark secluded place to hide our faces
If I had it my way,
We wouldn't have to say goodbye then drive on home and dream up another alibi
If I had it my way
There'd be no more wrong numbers when I called you on the phone feeling down,
And I wouldn't have to worry she might find a little stand of my hair.

If I had it my way
Love would not be come and go
We'd lie here in the afterglow
'Til the break of day,
If I had it my way
you would not be leavin' me
Love would not be misery
You would always stay
If I had it myyyyyyy waaaaay
(overlap)
We wouldn't have to meet here in this dark secluded place to hide our faces 
(Repeat Chorus....fade out)
