If I Don't Love You This Way

Listen, baby

If I don't love you this way

Why do I say what I say?

If I don't need you this much

Baby, why do I ache for your touch?

With you it seems I can reach the stars

With reckless hopes and dreams

But you, it seems still don't believe

How valuable you are

I really love you, baby

I'm not pretending to

If I don't love you this strong

Why do I beg to belong?

How can you doubt that I care, baby

When I'm with you everywhere?

With you I find I can close my eyes

To the world surrounding me

And you create the sweetest days

That I could ever be

I really, really, really love you, baby

I'm not pretending to

If I don't love you this way

Why do I say what I say?

If I don't need you this much

Baby, why do I ache for your touch, touch?

You just have to smile

To make my life worthwhile

Doesn't that explain

That I'm playing no games

If I don't love you this way

Why do I say what I say?

If I don't need you this much

Baby, why do I ache for your touch, touch?

If I don't love you this strong

Why do I beg to belong?

How can you doubt that I care, baby

When I'm with you everywhere?

If I don't love you this way
