Verse 1
IF I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEVER BE A RICH MAN
THAT I WOULD STAY A SIMPLE MAN; NEVER A KING
AS LONG AS I STILL KNEW THAT YOU’D BE THERE BESIDE ME
I’D SAY THAT’S FINE WITH ME AND NEVER CHANGE A THING

Verse 2
IF I WERE TOLD THAT ALL MY STRUGGLES WOULD CONTINUE
WITH ALL THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS THAT THEY BRING
IF I WERE SURE I’D WAKE BESIDE YOU EVERY MORNING
I GUESS I’D LAUGH AND SMILE AND NEVER CHANGE A THING.

Chorus

HOLD OUT YOUR HAND …. FOR YOUR MAN
SO I CAN HOLD ON TIGHT AND NEVER LET YOU GO

Lead Break (on verse) Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
IF I COULD SEE AHEAD AND KNEW WHAT NEXT WAS COMING
WHATEVER TROUBLES THAT MY FUTURE STILL COULD BRING
AS LONG AS I WAS SURE THAT YOU AIN’T GOING NOWHERE
I’D THANK THE LORD OUT LOUD AND NEVER CHANGE A THING
I’D THANK THE LORD OUT LOUD AND NEVER CHANGE A THING
