If I Really Knew Lyrics

If I really knew
That you really love me
I'll give you my heart
We never part, If I really knew

If i could say
Do you really want me
I'll give you my heart
We never part, If I really knew

But you walked on by
You never showed that you care
You tear me other way
I might as well not be there
You never given me the slightest sign
Perhaps one day your love would be mine

If I had my way
Things could be different
You would be mine
Till the end of time
If I had my way

If I really knew
That you really love me
I'll give you my heart
We never part, If I really knew
If I had my way
Things would be different
You would be mine
Till the end of time
If I had my way

If I could say
If I really knew
If I could say
If I really knew

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
