If I Loved You
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Longin' 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 mist of day
How I love you, if I loved you
Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I love you, if I loved you
