Lyrics If She Would Have Been Faithful... - Chicago

I was thinking about her
Visiting the past
Reconstructing details
With old photographs

I was studying the faces
With an objective point of view
Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me

At the time you couldn't tell me
That one day I'd be glad
That something that I thought
Was love was misinterpreted

She had another lover
She emphatically denied
But they were doin' me a favor
A blessing in disguise

If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you

I watch you sleeping
Your body touchin' me
There's no doubt about it
This is where I want to be

You know it's so ironic
I had to lose to win
I want to thank her
(Thank her again)

If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you

It's a paradox
Full of contradiction
How I got from there to here
It defies a logical explanation

If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you
Missed out on you

If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
(If she were true, whoa)
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you
Missed out on you

If she would have been faithful
(If she would have been faithful)
If she would have been faithful
(If she would have been faithful)
If she would have been faithful
(If she would have been faithful)
If she would have been faithful
