Lyrics If I Loved You - Richard Rodgers , John Raitt , Jan Clayton

If i loved you
Time and again i would try to say all I'd want you to know
If i loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go
Longing to tell you but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the midst of day
Never
Never to know
How i loved you
If i loved you
Kinda scrawney and pale, picking at my food
And lovesick like any other guy
I'd throw away my sweater and dress up like a dude
In a dicky and a collar and a tie
If i loved you
And somehow i can see
Just exactly how I'd be
If i loved you
Time and again i would try to say
All i'd want you to know
If i loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles i'd go
Longing to tell you afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the midst of day
Never
Never to know
How i loved you
If i loved you
