[Chorus]
If you had my love, and I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me?
And if somehow you knew that your love would be untrue
Would you lie to me and call me "baby"?
[Verse 1]
Now, if I give you me, this is how it's got to be
First of all, I won't take you cheatin' on me
Tell me, who can I trust if I can't trust in you?
And I refuse to let you play me for a fool (Yeah, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You said that we could possibly spend eternity
(You said that we could possibly spend eternity, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
See, that's what you told me, that's what you said
But if you want me, you have to be fulfilling all my dreams
(You want me, you have to be fulfilling all my dreams, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you really want me, bae
[Chorus]
If you had my love, and I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me?
Would you comfort me? Tell me, baby
And if somehow you knew that your love would be untrue, yeah (How you knew)
Would you lie to me and call me "baby"? (Na, na, na, na, na)
[Verse 2]
You said you want my love and you've got to have it all
But first, there are some things you need to know
If you wanna live with all I have to give
I need to feel true love or it's got to end, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want you trying to get with me (Don't want you)
(Don't want you trying to get with me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I end up unhappy
I don't need the hurt and I don't need the pain
So before I do give myself to you
(So before I do give myself to you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I have to know the truth
If I spend my life with you
[Chorus]
If you had my love, and I gave you all my trust (Had my love, gave you trust)
Would you comfort me? What would you do, babe? Tell me right now
And if somehow you knew that your love would be untrue (I need to know, be untrue)
Would you lie to me and call me "baby"? (Don't lie, don't you lie to me)
If you had my love, and I gave you all my trust (if I gave it to you)
What would you do? Would you comfort me? (Comfort me, ooh, tell me, baby)
And if somehow you knew that your love would be untrue (How you knew, be untrue)
Would you lie to me and call me "baby"? (Would you lie to me? Don't you lie to me, baby)
[Bridge]
Mmm, yeah
Ooh, na, na, na
Ooh
(If you had my)
[Chorus]
If you had my love, and I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me? (Would you comfort me? Tell me, baby, oh)
And if somehow you knew that your love would be untrue (Oh)
Would you lie to me and call me "baby"? (Don't lie to me, call me "baby")
If you had my love, and I gave you all my trust (Had my love, gave my trust)
Would you comfort me? (What would you do if I gave it to you?)
And if somehow you knew that your love would be untrue (Tell me)
Would you lie to me and call me "baby"? (Don't you lie to me, call me, call me "baby")
[Outro]
