If It's Love
Chris Carmack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I would
Go back in time yeah baby
Back before he left you
High and dry
And maybe
I could show you a thing or two
About what good love is supposed to do
But where you're at ain't where you've been
Let me dry your eyes
And heal the hurt inside
If you're willing to baby
Got a pocket full of promise
Got it if you want it
Got a whole lot more to give
If your heart can handle it
I've been broke
I've been used
Can't take another go around honey
It's gonna take a little time
You know the right kind I'm loving
If you ain't in any kind of love
Baby that's the least of my worries
So now I plan and laid it all out there
If I'm gonna start
I guess I've gotta start somewhere
You can dry my eyes
And heal the hurt inside
If you're willing to baby
Got a pocket full of promise
Got it if you want it
Got a whole lot more to give
If your heart can handle it
We have all the pieces
All the things we need
To put it back together again
I'm in
If you're in
Well I'm in
Let me dry your eyes
And heal the hurt inside
If you're willing to, baby
Got a pocket full of promise
Got it if you want it
Got a whole lot more to give
If your heart
If your heart
If your heart can handle it
If your heart can handle it
My heart can handle it
