If You Were in My Place What Would You Do? by Duke Ellington Lyrics
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
If you were in my place, what would you do?
Would you hold me in the same embrace as I'm holding you?
Would you kiss and sigh, just as I
Then for another kiss insist
Would you scheme and dream? Treat me mean
Then tell me that you can't resist
If you were in my place, what would you say?
Would you say to me as I say to you
I feel that certain way
Like a heart that never spoke before
Will yours say as mine now, it's you I adore?
If you were in my place, darling, what would you do?
[Instrumental]

If you were in my place, what would you do?
Would you hold me in the same embrace as I'm holding you?
Would you kiss and sigh, just as I
Then for another kiss insist
Would you scheme and dream? Treat me mean
Then tell me that you can't resist
If you were in my place, what would you say?
Would you say to me as I say to you
I feel that certain way
Like a heart that never spoke before
Will yours say as mine now, it's you I adore?
If you were in my place, darling, what would you do?
