If I could take away the pain
And put a smile on your face
Baby, I would, baby, I would

If I could make a better way
So you could see a better day
Baby, I would, baby, I would


I would build a doorway to the sky and hand you the keys, yeah
Let you know that you're always welcome so that you never leave, oh

Buy you all those fancy things that you only see on TV, yeah
Run away to a hideaway, we'd be living the American Dream


And I know it's never gonna be that easy
But I know that it won't hurt us to try, oh


If I could take away the pain
And put a smile on your face
Baby, I would, baby, I would

If I could make a better way
So you could see a better day
Baby, I would, baby, I would


Wo-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, baby, I would


I would build the love of river wide
So that it never runs dry, yeah
Anytime you ask me why I'm smiling, say that I'm satisfied

You got your flaws and so do I, past lovers that made you cry
And though I wanna make it right
I just can't read your mind, no


And I know it's never gonna be that easy
But I know that it won't hurt us to try


If I could take away the pain
And put a smile on your face

Baby, I would, baby, I would
If I could make a better way
So you could see a better day

Baby, I would, baby, I would

Wo-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, baby, I would


Yeah, it's not about what I want
It's all about what you need

I know that he hurt you
But that wasn't me
And I know, and I know sometimes it's hard to see

That I'm where you need to be

If I could take away the pain

And put a smile on your face
Baby, I would, baby, I would
If I could make a better way

So you could see a better day, no
Baby, I would, baby, I would


Wo-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, baby, I would.
