She can feel you   Drifting far away   But she can't see through   What you do not say   Take a step back   Don't lose your ground   Remember how you felt before   And if you care about her   Show her that you're sure      If I were you   My prized possessions   Would be the ones I'd hold so close   'Cause when you lose your love   You lose what means the most   If I were you   I'd hold affection      Higher than any star in sight   Take this to heart   And you'll never part   These are the things that I would do   If I were you      Simple pleasures   The hardest to be found   Can't be measured   'Till they're not around   Maybe she'll go   Maybe she'll stay   But she'd rather go than fade away   Sometimes the sweetest sorrow   Is the saddest fate      [Chorus]      Take a step back   Don't lose your ground   Remember how you felt before   And if you care about her   Show her that you're sure      If I were you   I'd hold affection    Higher than any star in sight   Take this to heart   And you'll never part   These are the things that I would do   If I were you   Take this to heart   You'll never part   These are the things that I would do   If I were you
