[Verse:] If I told you that I was wrong
And wanted you to come back home,
I'd be lying.
And if I said that we could work it out
And you shouldn't have any doubts,
I'd be lying.
And if I got down on my knees
In front of God above
And swore before the angels
I'd give you my love.

[Chorus:] I'd be lying next to you tonight
Holding on with my whole life.
Right back where I belong.
Looking deep into your eyes
Man enough to realize
That honey, I was wrong.
If I could swallow my pride
And put myself in your shoes
And tell you that I understand
Why you feel the way you do
Then baby, I'd be lying…
I'd be lying next to you.

[Verse 2:] And if I told you that I loved you
And I put no one else above you,
I'd be lying.
And if I said you're the one for me
And I never set you free,
I'd be lying.
And if I somehow found the strength
To knock on your front door
And tell you face to face
I won't hurt you anymore.

[Chorus:] I'd be lying next to you tonight.
Holding on with my whole life.
Right back where I belong.
Looking deep into your eyes
Man enough to realize
That honey, I was wrong.
If I could swallow my pride
And put myself in your shoes
And tell you that I understand
Why you feel the way you do.
Then baby, I'd be lying…
I'd be lying next to you.

If I could swallow my pride
And put myself in your shoes
And tell you that I understand
Why you feel the way you do.
Then baby, I'd be lying…
I'd be lying next to you.

Next to you…
If I told you I was wrong…
If I said that we could work it out…
If I got down on my knees…
Oh baby, I'd be lying…
