Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I must have rehearsed my lines a thousand times
Until I had them memorized
But when I get up the nerve to tell you the words
Just never seem to come out right
[Verse 2]
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you
[Verse 3]
I dream of moments we share, but you're not there
I'm living in a fantasy
'Cause you don't even suspect
Could probably care less
About the changes I've been going through
[Verse 4]
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you, oh
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you
[Verse 5]
No, you don't even suspect
Could probably care less
About the changes I've been going through
[Verse 6]
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you, oh
And if only you knew
How much I do
Do need you, oh
[Verse 7]
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you, oh
If only you knew
How much I do
I do need you
[Verse 8]
Whoa, if
If, if I love you, yeah
You don't know
I say you don't know how much I need you, sugar
[Verse 9]
If only you knew (Oh)
How much I do (I said, you don't know)
Do love you (That I love you and I'm so fond of you)
If only you knew (I love you, baby)
