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

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 our 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 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 all we 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
