Lyrics If Only You Knew - Live (1998 Hammerstein Ballroom) - Patti LaBelle

I must have rehearsed my lines a thousand times,
Until I had them memorized.
But when I get up the nerve to tell you,
The words just never seem to come out right.

If only you knew how much I do,
Do love you. If only you knew,
How much I do, I do need you.

I dream of moments we share but your not there,
I'm living in a fantasy.
Cause you don't even suspect,
Could probably care less,
About the changes I been going through.

No, you don't even suspect,
Could probably care less,
About the changes I been going through.

Oh, if, if...
In my...
Love you...
Iife... You don't know,
I say you don't know,
How much I need you sugar,
If only you knew,
How much I do,
I say you don't know that I love you,
And I'm so fond of you... I love you baby.
