If You Love Me
B.B. King with Friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not too late
Don't make me wait
If you love me

I won't give up without a fight
Girl, this love is on my mind
I've known that true love is hard to find
Girl, you're always on my mind
It's up to you to make it last
Girl, forgive me for the past
Since you came into my life
My whole world has changed
I want you to stay
I treated you so kind and gave you all my love
Girl, please won't you stay

Chorus:
If you still love me, you won't let me go
If you still love me, you won't let me
If you still love me, you won't let me go
If you still love me, you won't let me go

Just when I thought I had it all
Girl I'm not ready for the fall
You told me you love me
So where are you now
It's up to you to make it last
Girl forgive me for the past
Since you came into my life
My whole world has changed
I want you to stay
I treated you so kind and gave you all my love
Girl, please won't you stay

Chorus

So, where are you now
It's not too late to tell me
That you still love me
Don't make me wait





Chorus
