Esther Phillips - If I Loved You

If I loved you
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know

And if I loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go

Longing to tell you
But so afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances
I'd let 'em walk on, walk on, walk on by

Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of the day
Never, ever to know
How I loved you
If I

You don't know how I'd love you if I loved you
Gimme gimme gimme a chance to lay down and make love to you

How I'd love you
If I, if I, if I, if I loved you, yeah
I'd love you if I loved you
Oh, I'd walk a mile just to love you, baby
You don't know what you're missin'
I wanna love you
I said now when I love you
Don't wait too long, don't wait too long
Well if you don't do it, you know somebody else will
