If I Had It My Way Lyrics

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.
(Chorus)
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)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
