[Verse 1]
If I didn't care more than words can say

While my heart stands still?
[Verse 2]

And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare?
Would all this be true if I didn't care for you?
[Bridge]
If I didn't care, honey child, more than words can say

Darlin', if this isn’t love, then why do I thrill so much?
And what is it that makes my head go 'round and 'round
While my heart just stands still so much?
[Verse 3]
If I didn't care, would it be the same?
Would my every prayer begin and end with just your name?
And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare?
Would all this be true if I didn't care for you?
