It was another normal in Houston. Cheyenne and Van were at their new home with little Elizabeth, Kyra was at band practice, and Jake was at Timmy's house. Reba was cleaning the dishes when she heard a knock on the door, she went to the door to find it was Barbra Jean. Barbra Jean and Reba have become close friends ever since Reba confessed that she considered BJ as her best friend.
So here you are again
Standing at my door
You know Id understand
Well that's what friends are for
"hey Barbra Jean what's up?" Reba asked as she invited her in.
"Brock that's what's up, we had another fight why didn't you tell me he was a mo-ron before I married him?" Barbra Jean wined
Reba sighed at Barbra Jean's sentence "what did he do this time that made you so made that you came over here?".
"he did everything I wish I was just like you Reba no worries on your mind, you don't have to clean or cook for a man and you can do anything you want".
What's he done this time
What did he say
To make you so darn mad
That you're running away
Now you say you want to be like me
Independent and free
Reba sighed and sat by Barbra Jean on the couch. "Being single isn't easy Barbra Jean you're lucky to have a man to love and to hold and to hear him say I love you. When you're single you don't hear that. If you only knew what it's like to be alone you'd run back into his arms and never let him go" Reba explained.
But if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonely nights
The empty I love yous
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
"I know my life might look good to you the fact that I'm always the one in charge and I don't have to answer to anyone but there's no one there to hold." Reba pauses but then continues "But to be honest Barbra Jean in my eye's you're the lucky one, you have his loving arms to hold you all night long when you have bad dreams his arms will be there to comfort you and I would give anything to save what your just throwing away in the trash"
My life looks good to you
I'm always in control
No one to answer to
But no one there to hold
You see in my eyes you are the lucky one
With loving arms that you can lean upon
Id give anything I could to save
What you're throwing away
"it's just so hard Reba sometimes I just think we don't love each other anymore" Barbra Jean cries
"I know Barbra Jean but you got to know that love isn't perfect all the time. Trust me there are a hundred people who would gladly take you place"
But if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonely nights
The empty I love yous
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
I know it's hard to face that love isn't perfect everyday
But I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place
But if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonely nights
The empty I love yous
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
"now just put your anger down and go home to the man you love and loves you back with all his heart"
"thanks Reba your truly the bestest friend a person can have!" Barbra Jean sequels while hugging Reba so tight she can hardly breathe.
"can't ...breathe....." Reba says breathlessly
"oops sorry Reba" "well I got to be getting home see you later Rebs"
"bye Barbra Jean" Reba yells from the door as she closes the door behind her she mumbles "If You Only Knew....."
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
If you only knew
