If
Colette Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The very first time that I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said hello and I said hi
I knew right then you were the one
But I was caught up in physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby you were more than just a friend
And if you ever fall in love again
You must make sure that the lady is a friend

And if you ever fall in love so true
You must be sure that she feels the same way too
If I said that I would be your one and only
Promise that you'd never leave me lonely
I just want to be the one you need
I just want to be the one to serve you
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share
And if you ever fall in love again
You must be sure that the lady is a friend
And if you ever fall in love so true
You must be sure that she feels the same way too
The very first time that I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said hello and I said hi
I knew right then you were the one
And I was caught up in physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby you were more than just a friend
And if you ever fall in love again
You must be sure that the lady is a friend
And if you ever fall in love so true
You must be sure that she feels the same way too
And if you ever fall in love again
You must be sure that the lady is a friend
And if you ever fall in love so true
You must be sure that she feels the same way too
And if you ever fall in love again
You must be sure that the lady is a friend

And if you ever fall in love so true
You must be sure that she feels the same way too
