Then

If Columbus never sailed the sea (If Columbus never sailed the sea)
If Longfellow never wrote a rhyme (If Longfellow never wrote a rhyme)
If leaves have never grown upon a tree (If leaves have never grown upon a tree)
And if the sands have never told the time (And if the sands have never told the time)

Then I guess I don’t love you
(Like I do)
Then I guess I’ll have to find me
(Someone new)
Then I guess this love I feel couldn’t possibly be real

If Beethoven never wrote a song (If Beethoven never wrote a song)
And if Shakespeare never wrote a play (And if Shakespeare never wrote a play)
If a man has never done wrong (If a man has never done wrong)
And if night has never followed day (And if night has never followed day)

Then I guess I just don’t love you
(Like I do)
Then I guess I’ll have to find me, baby
(Someone new)
Then I guess my love for you couldn’t possibly be true

If high is low, and up is down
And if love is not considered an emotion
(If yes is no)
(And square is round)
(And if waves have never road across the ocean)
Oh-o-oh
If Michelangelo could never paint
And if Jezebel was a saint

Then I guess I just don’t love you
(Like I do)
Then I guess I’ll have to find me, baby
(Someone new)
Then I guess this love is wrong, couldn’t possibly be strong

Then I guess I just don’t want you
(Like I do)
Then I guess I’ll have to find that someone
(Someone new)
Then I guess my love for you couldn’t possibly be true

Then I guess I just don’t need you
(Like I do)
Then I guess I’ll have to find me, baby
(Someone new)
Then I guess this love I feel couldn't possibly be real
