38 Special - If I'd Been The One lyrics
I've been lost inside
Empty space in my heart
And some things never change, oh
How it hurts me and
How it's tearin' me apart
And it just goes on and on
Can you read my mind
Take a good look at my face
Could you take the time
Just to stand here in my place
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, look inside
Can you read my mind, oh, whoa
When I hear your name
Feel so cold deep inside
Still it's hard to explain, oh
What your love meant to me
They say time will heal the pain
But it just goes on forever
Can you read my mind?
Have you closed the door on love
Can you be so blind?
Did you think I'd just give up?
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, wanna cry
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when
It hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away
Fade away
Time can't erase the reasons why
Count my mistakes and the heartaches
Since you said goodbye
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, wanna cry
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when
To hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away
Never fades away
No, it don't fade away - Hudba
Never gets old! That's some sweet guitar playin'.
One of my all time favorite songs and groups of the 80s! Live or recorded!👏👏👏
Love
Timeless beautiful song, still full of power and passion
A song I play this day each year, a love lost, long ago. Dedicated to Anne, a soul mate lost
BEST 38 SPECIAL SONG!
Wow a real singer. No damn autotune.
Just saw them a week ago and they still sound fantastic. Don Barnes totally rocks...then AND now. Looks great, sounds great. Loved the show.
One of the best concerts I’ve ever been too
Love this song ❣️
Angel: My heart is aching but not giving the person the satisfaction of letting him know.
These guys like so many others , considered "Southern Rock", never got the recognition they really deserved. With exception... Leonard Skinard. These guys can really bring it ... Even now.
Touching heartfelt lyrics, great vocals, driving rhythm and lead guitar and percussion, and an amazingly tight band
Love this Southern999x timeless ,thanks to my dad!!
This song really touches something in my heart.
Mine too
I've seen them a few times. The antics of Donny on stage is worth the ticket for the entertainment.
I used to request this song plus a few others from 38 Special back in the 80's and 90's , from our local radio station . Love them still and always will !!!!! Don sounds excellent, as usual !
If I'd Been the One. I'm a one man band on youtube.
So impressive.. Don Barnes seems to get better with age.. The drummer is a complete beast..
The drummer is Gary "Madman" Moffat. He lost his wife a number of years ago to cancer.
The drummer picked up the tempo after a few measures. I don't like when a drummer does that.
It's stiff... not all "on the drummer" and very easy to have happen, especially in these day of digital drums and with "fragile" grooves such as this. The man is obviously a very skilled drummer/musician...happens with the best.
I just want to know did everyone stop singing and playing similar music where has all the good music gone to???? 💖
I'm 58, so the music was part of my youth...always well crafted, accessible....this song...the line "What if I'd been the one to say goodbye"....one of the best lines in a pop/rock song....before I knew I was hard of hearing, I thought the lyric was "Twenty-five and I want to say goodbye" then in the second chorus "Forty-five and I want to say good bye"....of course, later learned the correct lyric, but I ironic maybe the meaning is similar? Thanks for the great music.
I'm ten years older, and this song was part of my coming into adulthood. When it came out in 84, I was married and my first daughter was born. A nice time in my life.
BTW; do yourself a favor, and never again refer to 38 Special as a pop/rock band. 😎
Timeless beyond great songs and band.... Thank you 38 special!
My favorite band...
2023 still listening 🎶 🎉❤
80's Summertime in Denver Colorado......Magical
Memories of the 80's
If I'd Been the One. I'm a one man band on youtube.
saw them years ago...Bon Jovi actually opened the show.....friggin awesome
One of my top two favorite rock singers of all time but what the hell? How can that voice get so bad?
Don Barnes sounds as good as ever!
Don Barnes is the man!!
No shit...What I was just thinkin... Such a great singer , songwriter , axeman...!!
Great song, well played!!
dons voice is still awesome...just saw them...unsure of ur comment...but they sound very sharp and tight on stage...dons voice is freakin fantastic considering he began over 40 years ago...glad you like though!!
Should have joined them when I had the chance. Could have given so many hits.
Some things get better with age...38 surpassed that idea all to hell and proves perfection
Absolutely great!!
So Bad Ass.... love it.
Their best song, IMO.
My red Jaguar SS100 replicar was used in their rock video.
2024👍
Rock Royalty❤
Still s Great Song!
This looks EXACTLY like where and when I saw them... The Cleveland Agora, in '94.
AWESOME BAND AND SONG
But it just goes on forever
I saw them in 84 and c the videos for today's days sorry guys retire they just do not sound the same at all anymore
Your wife told me the same thing about you.....
@@kaohsiung99 the other answer is don't see them live or watch current videos, stick to the albums. We all age, I have seen them numerous times and have never been disappointed
Perfection
If I'd Been the One. I'm a one man band on youtube.
Yeah, Don Barnes wrote that song. Keep on rockin', DB.
yeah!
The best song for sure
''Did you think I'd just give up''? ...
+Jay L Keene Yes... that is the key phrase to the whole song. And the song is a gem!
W.K. Koogle g
I'm living this song and have been for the last 3 years...I said I would never leave her...she left me..."Did you think I'd just give up?"..
@@magfromcal Hopin you now have something good in your life...for all your efforts .
Don Barnes is sounding better than ever!
Great song! Thanks for posting!
Lynne, I'll never forget you,no matter what
Barnes is so underrated
Great talent. He hasn't lost too much over the years.
Don's voice has changed this was first recorded, yet I kinda like it.
Kick ass!
Great music comes from Jacksonville - all the way back to Johnny Tillotson and Mae Axton....
Tom Petty
Superbe!
If I'd Been the one. I'm a one man band on youtube.

Don Barnes kicks ass!
Truth!
If I'd Been the One. I'm a one man band on youtube.
😇GVB ❤
EARTH ANGEL😇. HOT GROUP!!! 🔥 💕 THIS ORIGINAL VIDEO!!😳😍👹😮👍
.love you always did
Hey...😊
hollow point tune😁
best break up song
You spoke truth there. It certainly was mine back in the day
Wouldn't mind playing bass in this band. I'm a one man band on youtube.
you're welcome
This sounds like elec mans theme
That's my wife.
Van Zandt is like the dancer from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Brings nothing to the band..... Just there on stage.
Why the hate against Donnie Van Zandt? He has a wireless and this well-seasoned guitar player of 25 years hears that acoustic in there.
I guess you have to understand that Donnie did a lot of the harmony vocals and lead vocals. He is a much more integral part of the band than you give him credit for.
I've always figured they gave him a guitar that wasn't plugged...
Jay Keene Donnie and Don Barnes started the band and wrote most of the music.
Musiclogic Agreed, still...I don't think his guitar is plugged in... Like Claus from the Scorpions, he strums a guitar form a couple songs too, but it ain't plugged in
Donnie van zant is fakin the guitar. lol the guitar is muted.
