[Intro]
(If I know) Oo-woo-oo
(If I know) Da-la-da-da-ba-ba-ba
[Verse 1]
You asked me for a part of me
That a girl can't give
Until she's sure there's love
Oo-oo, I've got it and I want to share it (Love)
I've got so much to give
I wanna share it with you
First I've got to ask you, this I've got to know
[Chorus]
(If I know, oh) That you love me
(If I know, oh) If I know, that you care
(If I know, oh) If you told me, that you needed me, hey, hey
(Oo) I'd be right there
[Verse 2]
I might seem just a little confused
Oh, I've been hurt before
But this time I must be sure before I do
I'll do what I want to do
When I first met you, I knew what I wanted to do
But first I've got to ask you, this I've got to know
[Chorus]
(If I know, oh) Woah-ho-woah
(If I know, oh) If I know, that you care
(If I know, oh) If I know, that my baby needs me
What you think I'd do? (Oo)
I'd be right there
[Verse 3]
(My) My friends keep telling me
How you used to treat your lovers and ladies from the past
(It doesn't matter) No, what you did before
I don't care what people say
They're gonna talk about me and you anyway
There's just one thing I've got to know
Before I let myself go
[Chorus]
(If I know, oh) I need to know
(If I know, oh) If I know, that you care
(If I know, oh) If I know, that you need me, hey
I will, I will, I will, I will, I will be there
(Do, da-doh, da-doh, oo)
[Verse 4]
Tender and softly (Soft and sweet)
That's the way I want to love you
But that's not all I've got (She's got)
Constant dedication
That's what I have to give
And I think I wanna give it to you
First I've got to ask you, this I've got to know
[Chorus]
(If I know, oh) Ho-woah-woah, now that you love me (You love me)
(If I know, oh) If I know, that you really care (Yeah)
(If I know, oh) 'Cause if I know, that you need me
I will, I will be there
'Cause when you wake up in the morning
And you go to bed at night
I wanna be there to love you with all of my mind
Oh, yes, I do
