If I Told You (That I Love You)

As I lay here watching the shadows dance upon the wall

I wait for the phone to ring hoping that you’ll call

‘Cause nothing‘s been the same since you walked out my door

I want you to come back ‘cause I can’t take this anymore

I didn’t mean to do it, all those words that I said

I had so much on my mind, so much running through my head

When I pass you on the street, you always look the other way

I want to tell you that I’m sorry but I don’t know what to say

Just one more chance to hold you close and tell you how I feel

I want to try and prove to you, my love for you is real

There’s been many nights, countless nights when all I’ve done is cried

Thinking about the love we had, the love that finally died

If I told you that I love you

Would you give us one more try

If I told you that I love you

Would you think it’s all a lie

If I told you that I love you

Would you come back home to me

If I told you that I love you

Would you give me a chance and see

You gave me your body, gave your soul and gave me all of your love

You are the one I always wanted the one I had dreamed of

Now that I’m sitting here alone the nights are oh so long

It doesn’t matter now it’s much too late because you’re already gone

I’d do anything if you would only bring your love back here to me

I’m really sorry I just want things the way they used to be

If I told you that I love you

Would you give us one more try

If I told you that I love you

Would you think it’s all a lie

If I told you that I love you

Would you come back home to me

If I told you that I love you

Would you give me a chance and see

Girl, you know I’d die for you tonight

If I could feel your love so tight, wrapped around me

And girl, I would give up all I have

If you would just give me a chance

To love you

Oh girl, please say you will

If I told you that I love you

Would you give us one more try

If I told you that I love you

Would you think it’s all a lie

If I told you that I love you

Would you come back home to me

If I told you that I love you

Would you give me a chance and see

If I told you that I love you

Would you give us one more try

If I told you that I love you

Would you think it’s all a lie

If I told you that I love you

Would you come back home to me

If I told you that I love you

Would you give me a chance and see

Just give me a chance and see
