AFTER 7
"If I"
(Babyface / Daryl Simmons)

[Verse 1: Kevon Edmonds]
When I was in love with you
You were so good to me
But I wasn't loving you
The way I knew I should be
And now that you're gone
Ain't nothin' been the same
Not since you've been away
Now that you're gone
I just can't get it together
Life with you is so much better
And I'm missing you, like, every day

[Chorus:]
Baby, if I could turn back the hands of time
To the days when you were mine
If I just had a chance
I would so be a better man
Baby, if I would've treated you more right
You would still be by my side
If I just had a chance
To go back in time, and take what is mine
And get back my life again
Yeah, get back my life

When I was in love with you
I never gave up my heart
And you said that loving you
Means you give every part
And now that you're gone
And I feel so ashamed that I let you walk away
Now that you're gone
I just can't get it together
Life with you is so much better
And I'm missing you, like, every day

[Chorus:]
Baby, if I could turn back the hands of time
To the days when you were mine
If I just had a chance
I would so be a better man
Baby, if I would've treated you more right
You would still be by my side
If I just had a chance
To go back in time, and take what is mine
And get back my life again
Yeah, get back my life

[Bridge: Kevon Edmonds]
Oh, baby
It's not complicated (No)
Ain't nothin' new (Nothin' new, girl)
I just can't see me, girl, ever getting over you
(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone, girl
(I'm here all alone) Here all alone
And it ain't get no better, 'til we get together
I need for you to come back home

[Chorus:]
Baby, if I could turn back the hands of time
To the days when you were mine
If I just had a chance
I would so be a better man
Baby, if I would've treated you more right
You would still be by my side
If I just had a chance
To go back in time, and take what is mine

If I could be with you (If I could be with you)
Ain't nothin' I wouldn't do (Ain't nothin'...)
If I only had a chance (If I just had a chance...)
I'd be such a better man (I would so be a better man)

(Baby, if I...) If I could be your man
(If I could be your man) I'd do anything
Anything for a chance, baby
(If I just had a chance...had the chance to)
To go back in time, and take what is mine
And get back my life again
Get back my life
