Lyrics

I can sum up my experience
On one finger of one hand
'Cause all the love I've ever known
I've known with just one man (Just one man)
And though I'm bein' true today
Tomorrow I just might wanna play
So I'm taking out this time to say
If I ever do wrong
You can bet that I will have thought about it
All the years that lived without
Bet that I will have thought about it
If I ever do wrong, oh, baby
If I ever do wrong I hope you'll be able to understand baby, yeah
They say that your first love is a love that just won't die
And your heart can't fight the feelin' no matter how hard it may try
And though I'm still bein' loyal to you
I think my loyal days are almost through
So I'm taking out this time to say to you, let me say to you
If I ever do wrong
You can bet that I will have thought about it
All the years that lived without it
Bet that I will have thought about it
If I ever do wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I should ever do wrong I hope you'll still love me, baby
Say you will
Knowing you for so long has made you seem like a father to me
And I'm sure I still care for you
Even if not passionately (Still love you, baby)
I'd like to make this short and sweet
And maybe it won't hurt as bad as it normally would
Oh, I'll stay with you as long as you'll need me too
But, I can't promise I will be good
If I ever do wrong
You can bet that I will have thought about it
All the years that done without it
Bet that I will have thought about it
If I ever do wrong hope you'll understand me, baby (If I ever do wrong)
If I should ever do wrong, baby
Oooooh (If I ever do wrong)
You see, I ain't going nowhere
'Cause I still care, yes, I do, so much, baby
More than you'll ever know
