[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
It never seems to come out right
[Chorus]
Ooh, if only you knew how much I do
I do love you
Ooh, if only you knew how much I do
I do love you
[Verse 2]
I dream of romance we shared
But you're not there
I'm living in a fantasy
No, you don't even suspect
You probably care less
About the changes I've been goin' through
[Chorus]
Ooh, if only you knew how much I do
I do love you
Ooh, if only you knew how much I do
I do love you
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, you don't even suspect
You probably care less
About the changes I've been goin' through
[Chorus]
Oh, if only you knew (Oh) how much i do
I do love you
(Lady, I do, lady, I do, I do, I love you, baby)
If only you knew how much I do
I do love you ('Cause i love you, babe)
If only you knew
(i must have rehearsed my lines, baby, about a thousand times)
How much I do
I do love you
[Bridge]
Tell me what you wanna do, 'cause I'm in love with you
Baby, baby, yeah, oh, oh
Tell me what you wanna do, 'cause I'm in love with you
(I've been really in love)
Girl, there's nothing more precious than being in love
(I've been really in love)
I can't sleep, tossing and turning
Girl, you're all I'm thinking of
(I've been really in love)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah
(I've been really in love)
Girl, if only you knew, how much I really love you
[Chorus]
If only you knew how much I do
Do love you
If only you knew how much I do
Do love you
